Orchard 5K Run

Description

Enjoy a unique opportunity to run through the orchard at Fishkill Farms with three separate races! The day will start at 8 a.m. with the Kids' Dash, where kids race one another 1,000 meters (just over 1/2 mile) on a separate course in the heart of Fishkill Farms. The next race up? Adults (and children) can compete on a designated 5K course that winds through Fishkill Farms' beautiful apple orchards. Family and/or kids can wrap up with the final event, the 5k Donut Run (or walk) and enjoy the apple orchards at any pace. You may ask - what is the different in the 5k run and the 5k Donut Run? While adults and kids can run in either race, the 5k run is aimed at competitors who are looking to earn the best time. The 5k Donut Run is to give an opportunity to those who want to walk or run the 5k course, allowing a chance to enjoy it at one's own leisure. Race to beat your personal best time, just run to have fun or simply enjoy the Hudson Valley. Either way, the day will be full of fun and fitness for you and your family! You will receive a t-shirt and the chance to enjoy a free Fishkill Farm's famous cider donut after your event. Stay at Fishkill Farms after the race to listen to music, enjoy the beautiful views of the Hudson Valley, have a bite to eat and pick the produce in season at Fishkill Farms' orchards. Please note, the race is rain or shine, so registration is non-refundable. 100% of proceeds taken in by Fishkill Rotary go directly to benefit the local community!
