From the Organizer
Lace up and join us for the inaugural Donut Dash 5K at Milburn Orchards on Sunday, November 8!
This scenic course takes you through some of the most beautiful parts of the farm, including on the hayride trail, through the apple orchard and BIG BackYard, by the berry patch, and along the scenic Big Elk Creek.
Whether you're running, walking, or simply looking for a fun fall morning with friends and family, the Donut Dash is the perfect way to experience Milburn Orchards in a whole new way.
Please note: terrain features gravel, grass paths, hills, and some uneven ground – our natural farm land!
