    Run, jog, or walk through the blooming fruit trees at Peifer Orchards. Of course, its up to Mother Nature if the trees are in bloom on race day. This is a great way to celebrate Earth Day and support a fantastic conservation organization, Tecumseh Land Trust. This is a family friendly event and dog friendly if leashed. T-shirts are not guaranteed for registrations after April 2, 2026 and will not be held after 9:30 am on race day.

    Tecumseh Land Trust protects land and water in southwest Ohio. But local conservation only happens when people like you care enough to support the land trust.

    You keep the door open for families who want to conserve their farms, natural areas and protect the waters that connect us all. A donation from you will ensure the land remains vibrant, productive, and resilient for generations to come.

    Enjoy the Apple Blossom 5K and thank you for believing in the importance of Ohio’s farmland and wildlife habitat.

    Cost: $35/adults; $20/children (17 and under) T-shirts are not guaranteed for registrations after April 2, 2026
