About

Cotatitarod is an annual foot race, pub crawl, food drive, costume contest and art cart parade. Race around the streets of Cotati in this whimsical charity event to collect donations for the Redwood Empire Food Bank!

Gather four friends and become a team of five to run the race! Registration for the 2023 event is open! There is a $100 registration fee for each team of five racers, and each team brings at least 60 pounds of food to donate to the food bank. Want to volunteer? Sign ups are here!

We race on the first Saturday in March, rain or shine, and it’s always a good time. This is a 21 and over event. Want to know more?
