Get Involved
The cornerstone of our event is community involvement. Our event would not be possible without our charities, sponsors, teams, and volunteers. Learn more about how you can get involved with our event.
Charities
The Trot is a fundraiser for over 90 local schools and non-profits. To date, we’ve given back more than $420,000 to the community. At no cost to our participants, runners can designate $5 of their entry fee to go back to one of our charities or non-profits that service Oceanside.
Sponsors
We’d love your name or logo on our shirts and medals. We are always looking for great community partners. Select sponsorship opportunities are still available. Find out how you can get involved with our event.

Every year, over 50 different teams come out to move their feet before they eat on Thanksgiving morning. Team Austin Bice holds the record with 513 participants. The top ten teams at our event will receive gift certificates to local restaurants.
Volunteers
Volunteers are the backbone to our event. With over 400 volunteer jobs to fill, ranging from registration to parking, we couldn’t do it without you.
