According to race directors Christian Utley and Randy Shiosaki, while numbers were down this year because the covid pandemic forced us to make this a virtual event, we still had 33 runners register for this fundraiser. We were able to give away some great prizes, net $1700 for the Christmas Food Boxes, and have fun in the process. We would like to thank our running community, our volunteers, and our corporate sponsors for this year’s Tater Trot.
Below are the top finishers in each of the categories:

* Women’s – Abby Williamson 48:01:00
