Mississippi State’s T.K. Martin Center for Technology and Disability invites families and individuals of all ages to Trick or Trot during its 14th-annual fun run Oct. 31 on MSU’s campus.

The center’s largest annual fundraiser kicks off at 9 a.m. with on-site registration and activities for children, and the fun run starts at 10 a.m. Participants are encouraged to wear child-friendly costumes as they run, walk or stroll the 1-mile loop through campus beginning at the center. Cheer stations will be set up along the route to encourage participants, provide candy and hand out other goodies.  

Registration for the fun run and cheer stations is available at www.tkmartin.msstate.edu/fun-run. Fun run entry fees are $15 for individuals and $30 for families, which includes registration for up to five immediate family members. Participants also may register at the event at 9 a.m.

Groups such as churches, local clubs, sports teams or businesses may organize a cheer station with a minimum of five members and are encouraged to bring candy, bubbles, stickers or other small items to hand out as they cheer on the children. Music and encouraging signs are permitted. While cheer station registration is free, donations are welcome.

Sponsorship packages for businesses and individuals are available from $100-$5,000. For more information about becoming a sponsor, visit www.tkmartin.msstate.edu/fun-run or contact McKenzie Foster at mchaney@tkmartin.msstate.edu.

Proceeds from the fun run benefit the T.K. Martin Center School, a special needs preschool and elementary/middle school program.
