Join us for the SIXTH-annual Tatanka Trot - our take on the popular "Turkey Trot" events and our capstone to Native American Heritage Month.

The Tatanka Trot has become a fan favorite for both community members and donors alike. More than a run, it's a gathering to honor and recognize the history of our land, and uplift Indigenous wisdom - exemplified by our very-own Wolakota Buffalo Range, which is the largest Native-managed bison herd in the world and the inspiration behind this event!🦬

As a participant, you are encouraged to run or walk a 5k on Thanksgiving day and learn about the original stewards of the land where you run.

Here's how it works:

Click DONATE & TICKETS to register. Donate what you can! A donation is not required to join in the fun!
- All participants who donate $40 or more will receive a code for a free, exclusive baseball cap (shown below) with free shipping through our online shop! Very limited quantity available on a first-come, first-served basis so make your donation today!
- After making a qualifying donation, you'll receive an email from our team with instructions on how to claim your cap.
Between now and Thanksgiving, find out on which Native Nations' land you'll be running. 🌎
Further your understanding of and solidarity with ongoing Indigenous efforts to reclaim sovereignty by following us on Facebook and Instagram. We also recommend this article for a Native perspective on Thanksgiving.
