The Tater Trot name belongs to small, community-first running events with a potato-country sense of humor. In Antigo, Wisconsin, the Tater Trot is held every second Saturday of August with a 10K run, 6K run/walk, and 2K run, and it supports local youth groups. Other races using the name include a North Carolina Potato Festival 5K and 1-mile walk in Elizabeth City, and a Racine County memorial 5K run/walk in Wisconsin honoring Deputy Joshua "Tater" LaForge. The Antigo race draws children, older adults, walkers, club runners, and families, with proceeds going to cross-country teams, schools, athletic programs, and youth organizations; more than $120,000 has been donated since it began. The North Carolina race starts and finishes at Charles Creek Park, a 3-acre waterfront park with a playground, picnic shelter, grills, restrooms, volleyball, boating, fishing, and festival food nearby. The Racine County event carries a different meaning: it remembers Josh LaForge, who served the community in law enforcement for more than 18 years, and its proceeds support his law enforcement family.
