Join us on the last Sunday of July at the Pear Fair! It's our 50th Anniversary of the Pear Fair and we want you to celebrate the Bartlett Pear Harvest by running with us! Choose either 5 or 10 miles on our beautiful country course. (Unfortunately, our course and our fair does not allow dogs. And, according to my children, it's too bumpy for the stroller!)
Join us!

Kids 1/2 mile race at 745am!

Pear Fair (including the race) is a *Dog Free* event: We love dogs, but it’s just too hot for man’s best friend. Please leave them at home on Pear Fair day. *except registered service animals.
All proceeds go towards local high school athletic programs and scholarships.
The course is not particularly "stroller friendly"... It is mainly a dirt trail, but there are parts that are gravel, parts that are actively being farmed (be it an orchard, vineyard, or a field), and parts that are paved. (A recent trial was given the review, "It's too bumpy for a BOB run, Mommy!" - age, 3)
