Farm to 5k- Watermelon Wobbler

About Bailey’s Team for Autism...

Bailey's Team for Autism is a regional non-profit organization raising funds and awareness in support of individuals living with autism spectrum disorders and their families. Founded in 2001 and incorporated in 2008, we have raised over $1.3 million contributing over 90% of all funds raised with a focus on programming, education, and research. We have supported projects nationwide, but our concentration is in New England - more specifically, Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

About the Run...

Our 5k is a professionally measured and USATF Certified fast, flat course and encourages good race time! It starts and finishes on Payson Road will continue left onto Chestnut Street then onto Mechanic Street and up Baker returning to Chestnut and Payson Road back at the start.

About the Walk...

The WALK route is 1 mile from the run start on Payson Road. Participation is FREE but registration is required (there is a fee if you want an event t-shirt - please see below)! You may register on site where ALL walkers will be required to sign a waiver (adults must sign on behalf of their child). We do not encourage walkers to follow the 5k run route as we will not have all safety precautions and police officers stationed for more than one hour along the route. Also, we will be well into our after-party at Conrads, as a result, we encourage you to "run the run," or “walk the [1 mile] walk."

Who gets a T-Shirt?

T-Shirts are FREE and guaranteed to the first 200 registered RUNNERS

We encourage you to help support Bailey's Team for Autism by fundraising and this site makes it very easy!

We are excited to yet again host the Farm to Trail 5K Series! This series offers a unique opportunity to experience the beauty of White Barn Farm's open space in each of the three key farming seasons. Each race is a fun 5k trail run/walk/hike through scenic Wrentham conservation land and White Barn Farm property

The Radish Rambler kicks-off opening day at the farm and our annual Earth Day Celebration, where we greet the warming sun, reconnect with our community, and enjoy the sweet rewards of early harvests. Be prepared for mud-season conditions out there - the race course may present some fun challenges!

The Watermelon Wobbler comes around in the thick of summer, when the days are long and the fun never ends! Our Peak Summer event celebrates just that - summa-summa-summa-time! The course is thick and green and maybe a little dusty!

The Pumpkin Pacer rolls around just in time to celebrate the year's bounty. All of the long, hot days in the field culminating into the rewards of the harvest. Participants are sure to be met by a quintessential New England collage of color and refreshingly crisp autumn air! (Did someone mention participant halloween costume contests?) We hope you can join us for one, two or all three races!

If you register for all three races by 4/23 you will be part of our Grand Prix. The Grand Prix will include the three 5ks, and will end at the Pumpkin Pacer where results will be added up and awards will be given for our lowest times. Grand Prix participants will also receive a gift bag at the end of the Pumpkin Pacer with local goodies, and farm treats.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

The KP High School SADD chapter will host its annual Miles for Maura fundraising event, a 5K Run/Walk in memory of Maura D. Howard on Sunday, May 3.

On July 31, 1994, on her way home from a weekend trip with friends, Maura was killed by a drunk driver who was speeding recklessly down the highway. Because of this destructive decision, life for Team Howard and Maura's extended loving family and friends has never been the same. Honoring Maura's memory is our top priority. Spreading awareness about the dangers of drinking and driving through scholarships for graduates of KP, Maura's alma mater, is a critical piece of the mission. Thank you so much for your participation.

Participant fee:

Ages 0-5 Free

Ages 6-18 $10

Ages 18+ $25

Note: The Untimed Walk has no bib and does not get timed.
