Spend a magical fall morning running or walking through a scenic course with trees just at the cusp of their full autumnal color change. You’ll experience a unique course with rolling terrain along the Arboretum’s East Side, perfect for participants of all levels to help kick off the Fall Color Festival. A virtual 5K option is also available.
Once you’ve conquered the course, stay for a postrace party with live music, food, and a complimentary beer!
Your ticket purchase helps support the Arboretum’s mission to plant and protect trees for a greener, healthier, and more beautiful world.
Line up with everyone at 8:00 a.m. for a shotgun start. Cross by 8:15am if you'd like to go your own pace.
Note: Medals will only be awarded to those who compete in the 8:00 a.m. shot gun start.
