A unique 5K Trail Run through a privately-owned farm managed for conservation and recreation. The race starts and finishes along the banks of the Broad River with the race route meandering through meadows, hardwood forest, and long-leaf pine. Walkers are welcome.
Following the run there will be an optional group Polar Plunge in the Broad River at the beautiful beach on the farm. We'll all be "freezin for a reason" together -- proceeds support the Broad River Watershed Association's water quality monitoring program.
