Event Information
9th Annual DISCOVER THE WOODS 5K Trail Race & 1 Mile Fun Run
Join us for Holly Hill Farm's 9th annual Discover the Woods 5K Trail Run and 1 Mile Fun Run on Saturday, October 1st. The 5K Trail run starts at 10am, followed by the 1 Mile Fun Run at 11:00. The 5K course takes you through 140 acres of woods and rolling hills that surround the growing fields of the farm, past open meadows, grassy field edges, a brook, and a pond. The terrain is a mixture of gravel paths, grass, rocks, tree roots, wooden bridges and mud! There is no pavement!

Please pre-register online for the race - it makes race day so much easier! Anyone who pre-registers on or before September 24th will be entered into a drawing for one of several prizes to be given out the morning of the race. Prizes include gift certificates to local businesses and a gift certificate for produce at the Farm Stand at Holly Hill Farm!
AFTER SEPTEMBER 30th RACE FEES INCREASE from $25 to $30 for the 5K and from $15 to $20 for the 1 mile.

Proceeds
Proceeds from this year’s race will benefit the Frank H. White Scholarship Fund created in memory of Frank White, who founded the Friends of Holly Hill Farm in 2002. The scholarship fund makes visits to Holly Hill Farm possible for children whose families need financial assistance. The Friends of Holly Hill Farm provides education programs to thousands of school children, adults, and families every year through farm field trips, summer camps, nature walks, organic gardening and other workshops. The farm also hosts cooking programs, yoga on the farm, outreach programs in schools, and farm to table dinners.

Reusable Bags
In keeping with the mission of Holly Hill Farm, we are giving away reusable bags this year instead of t-shirts. Reusable bags will be guaranteed for those who register by Friday September 30th. There will be a limited quantity available on the day of the race.

Water!
Please bring your reusable water bottle! We will have plenty of water but in keeping with our mission of sustainability we are attempting to make this a zero waste event so we will not be offering disposable water bottles or cups.

Parking
Parking will be at various locations on the farm. We encourage you to carpool with other runners if possible so we can fit all cars on site. There will be NO parking at Sandy Beach or Cohasset Town Hall. There will be someone at the farm to help you find a place to park.
