Join us on Sunday, October 25 at Uncle John's Cider Mill for the Playmakers Ghostly Gallop! This event includes a 5K Run/Walk, Boo Dash kids race, and the 1 Mile Kids XC Race. All three races will take place on Uncle John's farm, with panoramic views of the apple orchards. The 5K course is fully off-road, making it the perfect cross country experience for runners and walkers of all ages! And when you finish, Uncle John's cider and donuts will be waiting for you at the finish line!
After the event, stick around Uncle John's Cider Mill and enjoy their taproom, free tractor rides, corn maze, and other attractions, plus live music and food trucks!
