From the Organizer
Celebrate Agriculture in Person County and Support 4-H Youth Programming!
Farm City Week is the annual celebration of Person County's rich agricultural past, present, and future.
Close out the week with a run or walk through autumn woods and pasture trails on a spacious, family-owned 63-acre farm. Two laps will take you through old-growth forest, along the stream, past a variety of classic North Carolina Piedmont tobacco barns, around the pond, and aross the finish line in front of the goat pen.
Bring your cheering section to check out the Person County Farmers Market pop-up and stay for a farm-to-table picnic brunch (additional fee).
Hang by the bonfire with your cheering section and make new connections while you take in the views.
This is the second public race hosted by The Land at Hawkins Loop. Other annual events include Hawkins Loop Bird Fest, NC Science Festival nights, foraged wreathmaking, and a variety of science, nature, art, and community events throughout the year.
