The 5/15 Farm Run
The 5/15 Farm Run is scheduled for Wednesday, July 14, 2027 at the Central Experimental Farm, Ash Lane. The event is organized as an evening community run that coincides with a local farm tradition: every weekday at 5:15 pm the cows move from the barn to the pasture, and that movement is part of the race day atmosphere.
Distances offered:
- 1K Kids Fun Run for ages 5 to 12
- 5K road route through farm roads and paths
- 15K longer route on scenic farm roads
Small children in the 1K may be accompanied on course by a parent. The 5K and 15K events are listed as Green Bib only, which means no finisher medal is included for those entries.
Registration includes a commemorative finisher medal unless the Green Bib option is chosen, a personalized race bib (names printed only for those registered before July 6), professional chip timing and results, post-race snacks and beverages, and free downloadable race photos. Optional add-ons include a technical race shirt, a kids cotton shirt, and an iTab ribbon hanger.
The event names the Good Companions as its charity partner; the organization is a multi-service seniors centre offering social, recreational, educational and volunteer activities and support services for older adults. For participant safety, there is a published cutoff time for starting a final lap; participants still on course at that time will be directed to the finish line.
