Arbor Day Run

Join fellow runners and nature enthusiasts for the twelfth annual Arbor Day 5K/10K Run and One-Mile Fun Run/Walk.  Proceeds will benefit the Arboretum’s goat herd, which is used for targeted grazing of invasive plants.  Race T-shirts will feature the goats, and post-race snacks will include goats’ milk cheese and crackers.  

The event offers a 5K Run/Walk, a 10K Run, and a one-mile Family Fun Run/Walk. Races begin with a Healthy Kids’ Dash at 8:50 a.m. Participants will pass the Arboretum’s goat herd on the cross-country course plotted along the Arboretum's network of scenic, easily navigable paths. Post-race festivities include refreshments, an awards ceremony with one-of-a-kind tree ring medals, and a goat puppet raffle.  All registered 5K and 10K participants will receive an “Arbor Day Run” T-shirt.  Fun Run and Kids' Dash participants may purchase a T-shirt for $10.  Registration forms are also available at the Arboretum’s front desk.
