🏃♂️ Valley Nature Run - 15th Annual
Join us for a Road & Trail Run that is roughly 4.4 miles long. In the past, the course was 4 miles, but in 2023 we decided to add the trails around the beautiful Webster Pond to give the runners a better idea of where donations are being used. This was a huge hit making course 4.4 miles!
