The Tiblow Trot begins at 3rd Street and Oak Street in Bonner Springs, Kansas, during Tiblow Days, the city’s largest annual community festival. The Bonner Springs Rotary Club has organized the event since 1979, offering participants three straightforward options: a 5-mile run, a 5K run/walk, or a 2K fun walk covering 1.24 miles.
The race is closely linked to the town’s festival weekend, with the run taking place alongside Tiblow Days activities such as the parade, car show, carnival, and concert. Entry fees contribute to Bonner Springs High School scholarships, Rotary’s Polio Plus initiative to eradicate polio globally, and other Rotary projects, providing the event with a local fundraising purpose beyond the finish line.
