Trevian Trot hosted by New Trier High School’s Kinetic Wellness Department on Sunday, May 5. Participants can sign up online, through the mail or in person for the 5k race.

Registration and T-shirt pick-up opens at 7 a.m. and closes at 7:50 a.m. the morning of the run at the Northfield Campus, near the stadium. An opening ceremony and raffle will be held at 7:55 a.m. The 5k run begins at 8 a.m., and the 5k walk begins at 8:05 a.m. After the race, runners and walkers will participate in an awards ceremony with refreshments.

The race began in 2001, when New Trier’s Wellness Week featured a 5K RUNdezvous focusing on health and wellness in the community and the school. In 2003, the RUNdezvous became the Run to Remember in memory of Shea Fitzgerald, Sam Farmer and Julie Sorkin, three graduates who died in a Chicago porch collapse that summer.

In 2012, Jan Borja, former principal and an avid supporter of the run, passed away after a long illness, and the run was also dedicated to her memory. The name of the 5k race was changed to the Trevian Trot in 2013.

“The Trevian Trot continues to donate proceeds from the Fun Run/Walk to scholarship funds and charities in memory of Jan and the three graduates,” Race Director Jennifer Tricoli said. Trevian Trot beneficiaries include the Jan Borja Scholarship Fund, the NorthShore University Neonatal Unit, Misericordia, and the Shea Fitzgerald Wrestling Scholarship.

For Booster Club members, pre-race day registration is $15 for adults and $10 for students, and race day registration is $20 for adults and $15 for students.
