A view of cows munching on fresh field grass, happy-as-can-be-tail-wagging donkeys, a pack of wild farm goats jumping around, sheepishly cute sheep baa-ing as you pass by, bees buzzing (from a distance) & a horde of chickens and ducks chirping & quacking you on! Introducing... St. Joseph's first annual Fat Cow 5k! This 5k farm-raiser is being held on the farmstead trails that pass wild blackberry bushes, summer wildflowers in bloom, growing watermelon in our Hunger Relief garden, all the fresh fruit & vegetables growing on our land & in our community gardens. Did we mention all the farm animals as official race spectators in this fun run?!
The Course: The course will include both trail and road/pavement. The trails include soft grass, rocks and pine, and the crossing road will be manned for safety. Special thanks to Americorps NCCC & Central Arkansas Master Naturalists who helped to create these trails on the farmstead.
Parking: Parking is available on the West (second) Entrance at the front of the building on Camp Robinson Road. Follow the signs for parking and please arrive early to secure your spot!
The fun run will start promptly at 7:30am and a raffle will occur at 8:45am. Special wood engraved cow medals will be given out to all finishers. Stick around for goat yoga at 10am, & shop our farmstand market for all of Arkansas grown natural produce & artisan products! Don't forget to support our nonprofit by pre-ordering farm swag!
Farmraiser: This 5k is a farm-raiser and all merchandise will be for sale including post race beverages. Purchase a few extra raffle tickets to increase your odds at winning some farm swag! Thanks for supporting our local, independent nonprofit!
Enjoy the 'farm life, city living' with us on Saturday, July 27 in North Little Rock at St. Joseph's Farmstead!
