Registration is open for Quarry Farm 5K Run/Walk
PANDORA—The Quarry Farm Nature Preserve & Conservation Farm, Pandora, is holding the 8th Annual Quarry Farm 5K Run/Walk event on Saturday, Oct. 7, at 10 a.m. The race will be held rain or shine.
Pre-registration is available online at www.thequarryfarm.org under "Events". Registration on the day of the event begins at 8:30 a.m. Check-in for preregistered participants is from 8:45 a.m. to 9:30 a.m.
The scenic out-and-back rural course takes participants past a historic bridge, two scenic creeks to a rest halfway and back to the finish line at c. 1853 Red Fox Cabin. The first male and female to cross the finish line will each receive a commemorative mug designed by Artist Brandon Knott. Refreshments will be provided.
The Quarry Farm 5K proceeds support the work of the center by:
- Making it possible for the sanctuary animals, many of whom began their lives in fear and neglect, to reside here in peace with proper shelter.
- Providing species-specific food and bedding for sanctuary farm animals and fostered wildlife.
- Maintaining the nature preserve trails and control invasive plant species on the preserve and in the Red Fox Cabin gardens.
- Helping to provide quality educational programming in science, the arts, Ohio history and critical thinking.
- Contributing to the development and installation of interpretive signage.
The Quarry Farm Nature Preserve & Conservation Farm is located 1/8 mile north of 14321 Road 7L, Pandora. For more information, visit www.thequarryfarm.org, The Quarry Farm on Facebook and Instagram or call 567-376-0705.
