Runners brave the cold and snowy morning at the Farm to Table 5K.

Thank you to all the runners and volunteers who made the Farm to Table 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run possible!

This was the 8th annual race hosted by the Crop, Soil and Environmental Sciences Grad Student Club in support of the Full Circle Campus Food Pantry. Despite the below freezing temperatures and snow, 50 runners came to Agri Park on April 7, and over $1,200 was raised for the Full Circle Campus Food Pantry and the CSES Grad Student Club.

Fresh fruit and bakery items donated by local businesses were served after the race and the remaining food was donated to the food pantry along with many canned food items. Lean In Fitness Experience led a free yoga class and stretches by the fire before the run. Thank you to the many sponsors who made this day possible with generous donations!

Registered runners who were not able to attend are able to pick up their race shirts and donate canned food items next from 4-6 p.m. Monday, April 16, at Agri Park. Extra race shirts will be sold for $10 each at this time as well. For additional information please email farmtotable5k@gmail.com.
