TROLL TROT 2022 - Aullwood Run For the Birds 1K/5K

Aullwood announces TROLL TROT 2022 - our second annual RUN FOR THE BIRDS 1K/5K! We are taking all the fun and turning it into a two-week, action-packed virtual event from June 11 – June 25, 2022!

You can meet all three of Aullwood’s friendly trolls and a giant bird nest along a truly delightful 5K trail. The 1K trail will take you to one of our trolls and a troll-sized birds nest! It’s up to you to find the trolls along the way, discover the special clue at each troll and win a fun prize! You can explore this 1K/ 5K trail at Aullwood OR complete your own 1K/ 5K at home! To win a prize you must find the special clues at all three trolls and the birds nest.

By joining our virtual race, you can earn a “trolly” fantastic t-shirt featuring the original Chris Rowlands art seen at the bottom of this page, as well as support Aullwood Audubon and our amazing trolls! Every day is a good day for an adventure in the woods and you can help us reach students and adults right here in the Miami Valley with our award-winning environmental education programs and experiences.
