Description: The Cheshire Land Trust proudly presents the Ives Farm Tractor Trot 5K. The unique course (non-certified 5K) is entirely on a working farm - no asphalt. Runners will traverse woodlands, circle vegetable and hay fields, and visit the banks of the Quinnipiac River on trails and farm paths. The course begins and ends at the farm's centerpiece - a picturesque red timber-frame barn. The setting, Ives Farm, is a gem among the Cheshire Land Trust's protected open spaces - many of which are open to the public for hiking, birdwatching, and passive recreation. Festivities will officially kick-off with a 9:30 a.m. start. Post-run festivities will include food, entertainment, vendor/exhibitor booths, and a tractor display. The event will conclude by approximately 2 p.m. Runners and walkers welcome. Sorry, no baby strollers will be permitted on the course. Dogs are not allowed on the property on the day of the race.
