Why We Run

Many local schools struggle to cover transportation costs for field trips. This event helps fund school bus transportation, giving more students access to outdoor, nature-based learning. Through hands-on farm experiences, students learn what it takes to grow healthy food and develop a deeper appreciation for their local ecosystem. All proceeds from the race will go towards our School Bus Fund!
