Run the Farm 5 Miler
Incl. $3.72 Fee & Adult T-Shirt
Sun 27th October 2024
$49.00
The 5 mile race course is a trail run and passes through farm roads, forests, meadows, along steep hills, and over stone walls. There are some small seasonal streams and one wooden bridge. There are no large stream crossings. The two largest hills are at the one mile (long, not so steep) and the three mile (short and steep!) marks. Depending on the weather for prior days and weeks and the season of the year, some of the course may be wet and muddy but most of the course is well drained. The race has filled up in the past about a week before the race date. We anticipate demand being high this year so sign up ASAP. -
Kids Run the Farm (Race 1 - Age 7-12 Race)

Sun 27th October 2024
$26.44
This is the first race of the day - it is for kids age 7-12 years old. Kids races are split into two races by age range. -Race #1 (THIS RACE) is the 7-12 year olds. It is a 1.1 mile (2k) course. -Race #2 is for ages 6 and under. It is a 0.6 mile (1k) course. Both courses are entirely on trails and dirt tracks on the farm. No pavement will be crossed. The kids races have filled up in the past. We order a fixed number of kids finisher medals. *We cut off registration when we reach that number* so we don't run short on medals. We can't sign up anyone after that point even if you say "my kid won't take a medal at the finish" (try enforcing that!). -
