Events and Activities : Challenge Run to Benefit the March of Dimes

Bloomsbury Farm will again be hosting a 3.5k Mud Run to benefit the March of Dimes, on July 19. The Challenge Run features obstacles that will test your agility as you climb over hay bales, slither under netting, and splash through giant mud pits! After the run, participants can cool-off at the Beer Tent, grab a burger at the concession stand, and enjoy some rockin' music! New this year - a raffle drawing will be held for various sports merchandise as well as a 10-week membership to Farrell's eXtreme Body Shaping, and gift certificates to the athletic store Running Wild. All proceeds from the raffle will be donated to the March of Dimes.

Attractions at Bloomsbury Farm including the Barnyard Buddies, Jumping Pillow, Corn Box, and much more will be available for spectators and participants to enjoy throughout the event. The concession stand will be open, serving burgers, hot dogs, chips and more! Fresh fudge and other goodies will be available in the Gift Shop.

The cost to participate in the Challenge Run is $50/runner through July 18, and $60/runner on the day of the event. Spectator admission is $5 each, and kids under age 3 are free. A portion of all entry fees will be donated back to the March of Dimes to further their efforts in "Growing Stronger, Healthier Babies." Last year over 350 runners participated in this event! Help the March of Dimes save babies while getting down & dirty on the farm!
