    THE DEADSTOCK TROT 5K

    MEDALS ARE NOT GUARANTEED FOR SIGNUPS AFTER 2/20/26

    Born in Dayton. Built by consistency.

    The DEADSTOCK Trot 5K is more than just a race it’s a community run led by Dayton native Chop, a hybrid athlete who’s been putting in the work, stacking miles, and showing that running doesn’t have to be boring to be effective.

    Through training, content, and everyday grind, Chop’s journey has inspired people across the city to lace up, move more, and actually enjoy the process. That energy caught the attention of CELSIUS Energy Drink, who stepped in to sponsor this event and help bring the vision to life.

    This 5K is open to all paces , runners, joggers, walkers, first-timers, and seasoned athletes. We start and finish at Island Park, head toward Wegerzyn Gardens along the paved bike path with a turnaround point, and bring it home back at the park for the celebration.

    You’ll also get a chance to check out and enjoy CELSIUS Energy Drinks, connect with the local running community, and be part of something that’s about movement, motivation, and Dayton pride.

    Pull up. Move your body. Run or walk with us.

    This is The DEADSTOCK Trot 5K untouched energy, real effort, no excuses.

    Check out NUUN HYDRATION! Our official hydration sponsor for the trot!

    DEADLINE to register and receive a shirt is March 1st
