Five years ago, we started this event with a simple goal: bring our community together, have a little fall fun, and make a difference for the students of the Culpeper Technical Education Center (CTEC). Now, as we celebrate this special 5th anniversary, we're incredibly grateful for every runner, walker, volunteer, sponsor, family member, and friend who has helped make the Trailblazer Trot a tradition.

And the best part? Every step helps a Trailblazer take their next step. ❤️

Proceeds from race registrations help provide scholarships for CTEC students as they continue their journeys to college, trade school, and career training. Whether you're racing for a personal best, walking with friends, or just coming out for the costumes and community spirit, you're helping open doors for the next generation of Trailblazers.

👻 Monster Mile Fun Run/Walk at 8:00 AM 🏃 Trailblazer Trot 5K at 8:30 AM

Since October wouldn't be complete without a little Halloween fun, costumes are encouraged for both races! Bring your capes, costumes, spooky socks, and Trailblazer spirit. And don't worry, the "Monster" in Monster Mile is all about the season, not the course! 🎃

🏆 Awards will be presented immediately following the 5K.

As we cross the starting line on our 5th year, we're celebrating much more than a race. We're celebrating five years of community, opportunity, encouragement, and believing in the futures of CTEC students.

Thank you for running with us, walking with us, cheering with us, and - most importantly - supporting our Trailblazers! Here's to five years of blazing trails together! ❤️
