5K COURSE DESCRIPTION: The Race around the farm is not a road or trail run, it is a well-maintained grass and gravel, one mile loop around our farm.  The tall grass field will guide you through the course with sure footing and no holes to worry about, making it easy to navigate, scenic and fun.  However, don’t mistake it for easy.  There is enough elevation change to really challenge your race times and some narrow spots might force you to run faster than you wanted to at times to get around or stay ahead of that other runner.  This course has been a favorite of CrossFit athletes for years. 

Please note: Race course is not suitable for strollers.

They will repeat until 4 beers and 4 laps are complete and on the final lap, they will finish through the finish arch. Anyone who vomits at any point will have a 5-minute penalty added on to their time.
