Race directors are preparing for the 37th annual 10 kilometer Tater Trot which will take place this Saturday (August 12) at City Park in Antigo. In addition to the 10k run, individuals of all ages may also participate in the 1 mile fun or the 4 mile walk/run. The 1 mile run starts at 8:30am and is followed by the 10k run at 9:00am and 4 mile walk/run at 9:05am.
