Friday Faves!

Enjoy jogging/running? Like helping a good cause? Do both at TOMORROW’s Run the Ranch 5K and Fun Run at Eagle Ranch! Didn’t pre-register? Don’t worry – you can register at the Ranch before the race.

Participants will enjoy shaded, tree-lined paths and beautiful paved roads with pasture views. Whether you come to run, walk or cheer others on, the day will be fun for all. After the morning’s athletic events, snacks and activities will be available. Enjoy a picnic at our lakeside pavilion and family time on the ranch’s playgrounds, athletic fields and courts. This is a special opportunity to see Eagle Ranch’s private 310-acre campus and support their mission to help make life better for children and their families. More info
