From the organizer

Run or walk as many 1.52 mile loops (yes loops)** as you wish! This is an active produce farm you will be running around! There will be hills, grass, dirt, mild ruts, some trail through the woods, and maybe even a little mud depending on the weather leading up to the event! You will be greeted by the resident golden retrievers and the many barn cats that are loved by their owners and cared for in the past by Colony Caregivers! There will be hand crafted medals for all and prizes for top performers!

Timing will be provided by HourGlass Works. There will be an aid station stocked with the usual fare and you are encouraged to bring your own aid and a comfy chair to set up along the course. Portapotties will be on site.

Fish's Farm Market will have their greenhouses open and it will likely be strawberry season so plan accordingly! Their berries are the best!

AND RAFFLES RAFFLES RAFFLES! Bring cash or use Venmo to try your luck at winning some amazing prizes!

Proceeds benefit Colony Caregivers. Colony Caregivers provides care for feral and colony cats in and around Ontario County. Many of the kitties at Fish's have been the result of unwanted mama-cats to be that get dropped off at their farm in the night and Colony Caregivers has helped provide spay/neuter and healthcare services to them and their babies so they can lead healthy lives!
