Pure Country Runnin'
We're cutting hay and making way on the farm for this 4th annual cross-country running style race through the pasture! Enjoy the farm's sights and sounds as you make your way around the 2.5km looped course for either the 5km or 10km races. Once finished, stick around for some food, drink, and cheer!
What You'll Receive
All racers will receive a curated collection of goods including a specially brewed beer made just for this race (must be 19 years of age).
Our favourite timing company Enfield Timing will be on hand to calculate times and provide results. Prizes will go to the fastest three in each field, and we may just have a few other treats to hand out as well.
The venerable Andre Morgan will again be on hand to capture your strides and smiles. Check out last year's gallery here.
Charity Partner
Proceeds generated from this year's race will be donated to the rare Charitable Research Reserve. The rare Charitable Research Reserve is a community-based urban land trust and environmental institute that protects over 1,200 acres of highly sensitive lands across eight properties in Waterloo Region and Wellington County.
Donations made along with your registration will be directed through Run for Life to rare along with other race proceeds.
Your Hosts
