  • VIRTUAL AGAIN
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the continued need for social distancing, we have decided to, once again, organize this year’s Peace Trot as a virtual or run-on-your-own event with a new twist!

  • A NEW TWIST
In addition to running on your own, we will be offering 4 group runs/informal races at Cass Park (June 19, 20) and the Cornell Arboretum (June 12, 13). These are informal group runs, but for those who want to race and test their speed, we will have make-shift bibs and a volunteer timer with stopwatch recording times! Please indicate your interest in joining one of these runs when you register and we will contact you separately by email to choose your run date. To ensure your safety, we are limiting each run to 15 people and will email you about your group run date.

  • REGISTRATION AND DONATIONS
Proceeds of the Peace Trot go to support the Peter De Mott Catholic Worker House and the Ithaca Catholic Worker (ICW) community's mission of engaging in the works of mercy and nonviolently confronting the works of war. We have set our fundraising goal at $15,000 this year.

Registration is only available online and we request pay online when you register or put a check in the mail immediately upon completing registration.

Please give generously in the spirit of "paying for what it is worth"! A minimum donation of $25 covers the cost of a t-shirt plus some money for the ICW. (For local folks, we will let you know where to pick up your t-shirt. We will mail T-shirts to folks who live out-of-town.)

If you are part of a family of 5 or more people (including children) please consider a donation of at least $100. If that feels hard, please pay what you can. We would appreciate it if you register each member of your family group separately, however, only one registrant needs to submit a payment.

Everyone is welcome to participate in the Peter De Mott Peace Trot regardless of your ability to pay. Please let us know if you need a scholarship by emailing us at peacetrot@gmail.com.

We are encouraging all trotters to ask people you know to sponsor your trot. Just think, if you recruit 10 people to sponsor you for just $10 each, you’ll raise $100!

Sponsors can pay online on our SPONSOR A TROTTER! page OR sponsors can mail us a check. If your sponsor gives you cash, we would appreciate it if you would pay that amount online (on the SPONSOR A TROTTER! page) or write a check in that amount and mail it to us. Then, pay yourself back with the cash! 

This year, We are giving one prize each to the top 3 fundraisers. Additionally, just for registering, your name will be put in a raffle to be one of three lucky winners of a $75 gift card each. See the PRIZES page for more information.
