SUMMARY:23rd Annual Running with the Bulls
DESCRIPTION:So… What is Running with the Bulls? \n     The Running with the Bulls event serves as an annual fundraiser for the Musk Ox Farm\, offering participants a unique experience through the pastures surrounding the farm. Contrary to what the name may suggest\, participants do not actually run with the musk oxen\, but rather navigate around the farm while these majestic animals observe from their pastures. This race provides a unique vantage point of the farm\, allowing participants to traverse the picturesque pastures and hills encompassing the 75-acre property. Every participant is rewarded with beautiful views of the property\, the musk oxen\, the surrounding mountains\, a story to tell\, and even a commemorative race t shirt! \nK KID’S Fun RUN\n11:00AM \nWe love offering a fun run for the kiddos!
