The Blood Run

The Blood Run is a 3, 6, 12, 24, or 36-hour race on a 1.5-mile loop around an organic vegetable farm named The Good Earth after the Noble Prize-winning novel by Pearl S. Buck. It came up with a timed run that would mimic what it is like to be an organic vegetable farmer.

Race Info

The course follows a border around our acres of vegetable fields, so it is mainly well-traveled dirt and some pasture where the miniature animals reside.

There are camping spots available for runners and crews. We have one fully stocked aid station that you will run by on each 1.5 mile loop with flush toilets. 

The dogs are also welcome to pace your race.
