The 5K Trail Race begins at 10 am and the 1 Mile Fun Run begins at 11.
Registration for both races begins at 8 am.
The races take place at Holly Hill Farm, a certified organic vegetable, flower and herb farm located at 236 Jerusalem Road, Cohasset.
The farm has a nonprofit education center onsite that uses the resources of the farm as its outdoor classroom to teach about sustainable agriculture and eating healthy food grown in a way that protects the ecosystem.
Proceeds from these races benefit the Frank H.
White Scholarship Fund that makes summer camp experiences and school field trips possible for students whose families need financial assistance.
The 5K course is rolling hills through 140 acres of woods that surround the growing fields of the farm, past open meadows, grassy field edges, a brook, and a pond.
The terrain is a mixture of gravel paths, grass, rocks, tree roots, wooden bridges and mud!
There is no pavement!
Please come early to explore the barnyard that includes historic buildings and the farm animals - a horse, pony, 2 adorable goats, a bunny and many chickens.
The farm stand opens at 11 am so please plan a visit to stock up on locally grown organic vegetables, flowers, herbs and products from our partners including bread, cheese, hummus, honey, and more.
