From the Organizer
Marmon Valley Farm is hosting the Horseshoe Hill Climb 5K, 10K and 20K trail run on Saturday, November 7, 2026 at 9am to raise money that will help kids come to summer horse camp. These funds make it possible for children from economically challenged families to attend camp and helps in sustaining other areas necessary for the ministry.
Many of the trails throughout Marmon Valley's 500 acres are bridle trails, farm lanes, and open meadows providing a fantastic trail running experience! The trails and terrain at Marmon Valley are ideal for trail racers who are looking for a challenging run. Whatever distance chosen, you will traverse through hardwood forest, up and down ravine trails, around fields, across creeks, and along scenic overlooks. None of the trails are paved and all may be muddy! The 5k and 10k each have their own course and the 20k course is laid out as a 10k loop.
Registrations after Oct. 24, 2026 cannot be guaranteed a race shirt.
