Race Information
Join the Annual Musk Ox Farm Running with the Bulls!
This 5K/10K and Kids 1K Fun Run event provides participants with an OX-tacular course through and around the pastures at the Musk Ox Farm. (Not actually WITH the bulls - that would be nuts!)
Runners get OX-clusive views of the farm that many never see as the course winds around and through the gorgeous pastures and hills of a 75-acre property. This is one of the most scenic and unique trail run events in the state! And of course, the musk oxen are watching the event from adjoining pastures. All participants receive a commemorative race t-shirt.
