Farm 5K

Our annual 5K will be held at Lookout Farm, 89 Pleasant Street, Natick, due to ongoing barn construction.

Run, skip, hop or walk the 5k course that we’ve outlined with our friends at Lookout Farm. The course will take you through orchards, under grapevine canopies, and all over this extensive and gorgeous property. And the best part? The Greenhouse will be opening up for Brunch just as the race finishes!

Time: Runners should arrive by 8 and we will start the race at 8:30

Pricing: Adults $35 Kids under 10 $20
