Arguably the most beautiful grounds to ever host a 5K Trail Run/Walk, we are thrilled to open the gates to Moore Farms Botanical Garden for this exciting new event for the Pee Dee area.
Moore Farms Botanical Garden is a picturesque landscape in the heart of the Pee Dee region comprised of 65 cultivated acres filled with lush greenery, vibrant florals and serene water features. The sprawling garden lawns and winding trails create an idyllic sense of botanical bliss.
All proceeds for this event will be donated to the Florence County Disabilities Foundation.
The Florence County Disabilities Foundation provides funding and resources for quality life experiences to persons living with life-long disabilities who are served by the Florence County Disabilities and Special Needs Board.
