Don’t miss this opportunity to be a part of Penney Farms history. Join your fellow runners, to kick-off the First Annual Penney Farms Historical 5K Run along the treelined residential streets of the J.C. Penney Memorial Scenic Highway loop. In the 1920’s a visitor was quoted as saying, ”on any given day, you can see 100 men and 100 mules in the fields,” They may be gone now but it is possible to imagine them out there as you run through the beautiful community. PRESERVING THE PAST Proceeds from the race will support the efforts of the J.C. Penney Memorial Scenic Highway volunteers to protect, preserve and enhance the scenic, historical and cultural resources along the tree-lined scenic highway corridor and loop. This is balanced with promoting tourism and encouraging economic development that benefits the community and embraces the goals of the scenic highway. All race expenses will be paid by the sponsors, so that your entire entry fee is tax-deductible.
