From the Organizer
The Farm Festival 5K will take the runner from the Hanover Vegetable Farm on an off-road and hard surface course through the farm and Hanover countryside. The finish will take place back at the Hanover Vegetable Farm where runners will have the opportunity to enjoy the barn party with food, games, and live music.
Richmond Road Runners Club provides finish line services for the 5K under contract with the race organizers.
