• Sample inspired cuisine from 15 of the area's best food trucks

• Scenic, paved 5K course with predicted pace lineup to prevent the dreaded "start line clog" 
• Touch-A-Truck and other free kids activities
• Party on with School of Rock and tons of other stage entertainment
• The things that matter: Ample parking and nearby, indoor, and really clean restrooms
• $100 Visa gift cards awarded to Top Overall male and female runners, and "Middle of the Pack" winner
  
  

*NEW THIS YEAR!*  Drum roll, please... VIP Food Truck Rally Tickets and Ride-Along Opportunity in the COD tractor-trailer!  On sale soon, proceeds from both opportunities will go to COD student scholarships.

• *VIP FOOD TRUCK RALLY TICKET HOLDERS will receive the following benefits for a small fee of $10.00:
  • Reserved, nearby parking
  • One voucher for a sample item from any of the participating food trucks
  • Voting rights for your favorite food truck
  • COD lanyard to wear at the event and look like a rockstar
• *RIDE-ALONG with COD's finest CDL program faculty in a real 53-footer for only $5.00. Departing from and returning to the south entrance of the Physical Education Center, riders will take a trip across country... oops, we mean "campus".

   

Cheesy Teaser (say that ten times fast) is scheduled for Tuesday, May 1!

In honor of Early Bird Registration Opening Day, Toasty Cheese will be on campus outside the Student Resource Center cafeteria entrance to offer a preview of food truck rally glory.  Full and sample-sized grilled cheese sandwiches will be available for sale from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

NOT-SO-FINE PRINT

No need to register for either race to take advantage of the Cheesy Teaser.  But you *should* take advantage of the discounted entry fees before they increase (and you never know when that will happen). More information about race registration fees on the Race Information page.

 

SO WHERE DO THE PROCEEDS GO?

Student scholarships, of course!  Each of the 15 high school districts served by COD has a dedicated scholarship for their graduates who choose to attend COD. When you register for either the 5K Run/Walk or the 100-Yard Youth Dash, designate your race fee to the high school district of your choice.

 

Thank you for making the 2017 COD Food Truck Rally & Sunset 5K such a huge success!

• Very *warm* memories captured in this video!

• Smile! Check out photos of fans and the Cubs Trophy!
• Stay tuned on Facebook!
