Older kids can choose to race 2 laps on the Goat Loop, or try the new Junior Loop (2 miles) which starts at 10:10am. For everyone else, there’s the grand Tour de Farm Loop race, a 3+/- mile course, starting at 10:30am.
Racers can choose from the 3 categories:
Beginner 2-3 laps
Sport 4 laps
Expert 5 laps

There will be prize money for top finishers of the Tour de Farm Loop race. Registration is $10 for kids 12 and under, $25 for ages 13 and up, $20 for MAMBA members.
