Think You’re Farm Tough (and Park Friendly)?

If you are farm tough and ready to run, join The Friends of Palisades-Kepler State Park for a family fun run on the back-forty of Bass Family Farms property Saturday, April 26, beginning at 9 a..m..

Race registration is $30 (plus registration fees) and is still accepted up to race day, but racers are not guaranteed a race shirt. To register, visit https://raceroster. com/events/2025/100089/pals-for-the- park

Bass Family Farms is hosting the second annual Pals for the Park: 5k Fun Run on the Farm.

The surface is stroller friendly (and babies don’t need to register). Dogs are allowed on the property, but not on the trail, as this is a working farm.

All proceeds will support improvements and public educational events at Palisades-Kepler State Park. For 2025, this will include things such as procurement and installation of new fire rings and grills throughout the park, updates to the kitchen in the lodge, and replacing benches along main trails.

Attendees will receive a race swag bag, plus the opportunity to win raffle items after the run!

Not a runner? You can support this event for “The Pal” by donating or volunteering.
