From the Organizer
Calling runners and walkers of all ages and skill levels! Lace up those shoes and join us for our 1st annual Backwoods 5k. Taking place on Sunday, October 4th, this 3.1 mile loop features the iconic and historic downtown Hillsboro with a hidden backwoods trail escape.
Join Backwoods Brewing Company in the fight against child food insecurity. All proceeds and donations from the race will provide meal access and nourishment resources for the children of Hillsboro. Let's run hunger into the ground!
This race will take place on public roads and shared pathways. Race participants are expected to stay on sidewalks, trail paths and obey the traffic and pedestrian laws. Strollers are allowed, but please note that there is an off road trail that will be less stroller friendly. Bicycles, skateboards, inline skates and wagons are prohibited during the race.
After the race, join us on the Backwoods rooftop to receive awards and your commemorative backwoods pint glass with a beer or non alcoholic drink of your choice!
