Join us for the first NC GRT x Animo 5k Fundraiser
NC Gardens Rivers and Trails is a Community Garden which is located along the Dunn- Erwin Rail Trail. We have created this event to help us fundraise for our Greenhouse and Food Forest.
Our mission is simple: we hope to create a safe place where EVERYONE can GROW, FOOD & COMMUNITY! Therefore, we’re partnering with Animo Latino Run Club to bring more communities together. Bring your run clubs, bring your friends, all and everyone is invited!
The Race will take place on the 3rd Saturday of March during the first Pop-Up Market of 2026! There will be Local Vendors, Live Music & Food to enjoy after the race!
Your participation is a seed for our garden, a seed that will help us GROW!
