Description
We are Hoofin' it for Dairy Discovery, a nonprofit focused on providing a personal connection to your food. We are teaching the truth in agriculture and healthy nutrition and no better way to teach about health and nutrition then by getting people to moo've their dairy airs.
Join us on October 30th for races through our dairy farm and local roads. There will be both a 5k and kids fun run option. 5k will begin at 9:00am, with staggered starts, to help avoid crowding. This race is open to all ages but asked that they are able to complete within 1 hour. The kids fun run will begin at 10:00am and is 1/2 mile run for kids up through 12 years old. We are grateful to have Epic Timing here to assist in the packets and timing of both races. Not only will you have a chance to compete with other runners again, but you will also get the best prize of all at the end. Healthy, nutritional chocolate milk to refuel your body after a hearty race, along with other amazing snacks. Race registration includes ticket to our Fall Fun on the Farm event following the races.
