We are only ten days from our 20th Annual Shepherd's Corner 5K @ Shepherd's Corner Ecology Center!

There is still time to register for our annual fundraiser!

This fun run/walk all-terrain 5K is open to all. It goes through our fields, by the wetlands & vernal pool, and into the forests. It's a great trail run for those dipping their toes into trail running! Plus, proceeds from this race will help us continue the important task of land conservation and healing the Earth.

P.S. Not feeling like a 5K? We have an untimed 1K option this year!

June 13th: Check in starts at 8
Race will kick off just after 9
$15/12 yrs and under
$30/13 years and up
