35796760_2207605782613427_3068332942729150464_nSaturday, October 6 at 10 AM – 12 PM

Check-in: 8:45 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. at the Seitz Pavilion; please present ID to receive participation packet

Parking and run/walk start: The Quarry Farm, 14321 Rd 7L, Pandora, OH 45877

Registration is open! The Quarry Farm 5K 2018 race will consist of two events: The Virtual 5K and an Onsite 5K. The Virtual 5k is to be done at your own location and pace. The Onsite Quarry Farm 5K is an easy (just two sloping hills!) out-and-back rural course that takes participants past a historic bridge, two scenic creeks to a rest halfway and back to the finish line at Red Fox Cabin.

Participants of both events will receive a custom race t-shirt.

NEW FOR 2018: Onsite 5K participants will have the option of receiving a white t-shirt with The Quarry Farm logo on the chest. Runners/walkers wearing the white shirt will be ‘painted’ at various stations along the route. We will use liquid, non-toxic paints that will cool you down as you enjoy this colorful experience.

Registration is $25.00 and may be completed day of event or online at https://www.active.com/pandora-oh/running/distance-running-virtual-events/the-quarry-farm-5k-2018

All 5K proceeds further the goal and mission of The Quarry Farm Nature Preserve & Conservation Farm to provide the opportunity for people of all ages to increase their understanding of the natural environment of Northwest Ohio and to interact with their fellow inhabitants in a sustainable manner.

Look what came in the post

Picture yourself running at a clip along your favorite route, or walking, comfortably but at a pace brisk enough to get the blood moving aerobically through your veins.IMG_2372

And with each footfall you are supporting the educational programming, trail maintenance, invasive bush honeysuckle control and care and feeding of the farm animal sanctuary residents on The Quarry Farm Nature Preserve & Conservation Farm. The great blue heron medallion that swings across your chest/at your belt loop/from your rearview mirror reminds you of this.

The medals have arrived for The Quarry Farm 5K, with t-shirts just behind them. REGISTER NOW to run in your own space at your own pace or join us in person on October 1 in Northwest Ohio.

If you opt for the virtual event, please send in a photo of yourself wearing The Quarry Farm 5K t-shirt (and the medal, if you like) as you participate in your neck of the world. What a photo gallery that will be!
