Join the Hunter’s Moon Heritage Run!

Sunday, October 19, 2008

Homestead Preserve and The Homestead are sponsoring the First Annual Hunter’s Moon Heritage Run and we are encouraging any and all local running enthusiasts to participate. The run is part of Homestead Preserve’s fall Signature Event weekend and encourages owners to get to know the local arts scene while also enjoying our area’s many natural amenities.  The Hunter’s Moon Heritage Run is a 5K run/hike beginning at The Homestead’s ski lodge and traversing Homestead Preserve’s Delafield Rise neighborhood as well as the carriage trails of The Homestead. There is a limit of 200 people and each entrant will receive a souvenir T-shirt and be eligible for prizes.  The entry fee is $25, Homestead Preserve hopes to grow the run each year so they can donate profits from the event to local charities.  The run is a great way to enjoy the fall colors in Bath County while also promoting good health. To register for the event, please call Cathy Snyder at 540-839-5071.
