Bernheim’s Run for the Planet

Bernheim’s Run for the Planet 

On Saturday, April 23 from 8am-2pm Bernheim is excited to host the Bernheim Run for the Planet to benefit Bernheim’s mission, connecting people with nature. Runners will experience a timed trail run through Bernheim’s scenic Millennium trail.  The Millennium Trail is Bernheim’s longest trail winding through oak-hickory forests to valleys and streams of beech-maple forests.  This difficult trail features several steep slopes, creek, and road crossings.  Be prepared for both the joys and challenges of this beautiful trail! 

After the race, runners are invited to kick back, enjoy food, t-shirts, awards, music and most importantly -- the opportunity to learn more about and support conservation.
