But hunger doesn't affect everyone equally - some groups face like children, seniors, and Black, Indigenous, and other people of color face hunger at much higher rates. Hunger also most often affects our neighbors who live in poverty. Please consider make a donation to help fight hunger. For more information click here!

Are strollers allowed? You are welcome to use a stroller for this event but it is not recommended due to uneven ground on the course and children in strollers can participate for free and do not need to register.
Is walking allowed? Yes!
Is the race dog friendly? No - we love dogs, but since this is a produce and vegetable farm USDA prohibits dogs on site.

Absolutely! We have been getting many inquiries about virtual participation and have integrated a virtual option into our regular registration.
