About the Event

Get ready for a day of fun and fitness at the Farm & Forest All-Terrain 5K and Hog Wild Kids Fun Run on Sunday, April 12, 2026, in Stamford, Western Connecticut! The festivities begin with the Hog Wild Kids Fun Run at 8:00 AM, followed by the All-Terrain 5K at 8:30 AM.

Runners will enjoy a unique course starting at the Fedele Family Plaza and winding through the picturesque Heckscher Farm, where they’ll pass friendly farm residents including cows, horses, llamas, goats, and donkeys.

The 5K features a scenic two-loop route around Bendel Pond and up to the striking Bendel Mansion, complete with its iconic lion statues and Italian Renaissance fountain. Participants will continue along the wooded trails of the Stamford Museum & Nature Center, cross Otter Bridge, and make their return through Heckscher Farm—an unforgettable run surrounded by nature and wildlife.

Meanwhile, the Hog Wild Kids Fun Run invites children ages 5 and up to enjoy a 0.3-mile adventure past cows, goats, and even a Scottish Highland cow named Petunia! With a limited number of spots available, early registration is encouraged.

About Stamford

Stamford, Connecticut is the fourth largest city in the state, a center of regional activity in Fairfield County, and a hub of the Metro New York area. Its position between NYC and the rest of Connecticut defines Stamford’s character. Stamford takes on a big-city atmosphere in its downtown and the adjacent neighborhoods, then transitions to a more traditional suburban small-town Connecticut atmosphere in its northern sections. Stamford plays an active role in the NYC metro and Fairfield County art and music scene. It also has one of the largest and most diverse selections of restaurants and shopping in Fairfield County. Many large corporations are headquartered in Stamford, so it hosts a large reverse-commute from New York City in addition to commuters from Connecticut and nearby Westchester County, New York.
