Presenting Sponsor
Come enjoy the beautiful 5 miles of trails on our sprawling 120 acre farm just north of Charlotte. You can choose our 5k or 10k trail to walk or run. Both will be chip-timed, and we will have awards ceremony at the end of the race.
Registration includes a t-shirt, and you are welcome to stay once you cross the finish line for food, drinks, and music! Shining Hope Farms 5k and 10k Trail Run is supporting our Veterans’ program Saddles and Salutes at all three of our locations. Race participants also have the option to form a team and raise money to Sponsor a Service Member through our Saddles and Salutes program for a year. Every $1,000 raised provides an annual Saddles & Salutes scholarship.
