The 2024, “Lynden Tractor Trot” will start and finish by City Park at Forge Fitness. Since this is Fathers’ Day weekend, we would love for this to be a family event. For those wanting to race while enjoying our beautiful town, there will be a recognition of winners with chip timing.
Invite your friends and family to cheer you through the finish. Swag and a coffee cart will be available at the end of the race, so bring a few dollars with you.
