This unique event offers a true cross-country experience, taking runners and walkers alike through the picturesque fields and blooming orchards of the historic White House Fruit Farm, a family farm since 1815. With minimal hard surfaces, the 5K course provides a challenging yet beautiful departure from typical road races, immersing participants in the natural beauty of spring as you navigate past apple and peach trees, potentially encountering a small stream and ascending the breast of a dam. Younger participants can enjoy the Kids Fun Run, a half-mile cross-country course winding around the charming farm pond, with a sweet reward of a free donut at the finish.

The race day kicks off with registration at 8:00 AM at the White House Fruit Farm, located at 9249 Youngstown-Salem Rd. The Kids Fun Run starts at 9:00 AM, followed by the chip-timed 5K run/walk at 9:30 AM. Typical race day conditions in early May feature comfortable highs around 68°F and lows around 41°F, with a modest 19% chance of precipitation, creating pleasant running weather. While specific aid station details along the course are not exhaustive, pre-registrants can look forward to refreshments at the finish, and the event often supports local veterans, adding a charitable dimension to your run. Cash awards are presented to the top three overall male and female 5K finishers, along with age group awards. Embrace the invigorating farm atmosphere and enjoy a memorable run amidst the blossoms at this beloved community event.
