Events and Activities : Bloomsbury Farms to aid March of Dimes with corn maze, mud run

The March of Dimes is celebrating its 75th Anniversary this year, and what better way to spread the word than to inscribe their logo into a 10-acre cornfield? Bloomsbury Farm, in Atkins, is proud to be displaying the March of Dimes' 75th Anniversary Logo in their 10-acre corn maze this year! The maze will be planted in early June, cut in late June, and will be ready for visitors by the end of July!

Bloomsbury Farm will also be hosting the Challenge Run on August 17 to benefit the March of Dimes. This 3.5k mud run with obstacles will test your agility as you climb over hay bales, slither under netting, and splash through giant mud pits! After the run, participants can cool-off at the Beer Tent, grab a burger at the concession stand, and rock-out with local DJ artist J Haunce.

Attractions at Bloomsbury Farm including the Barnyard Buddies, Jumping Pillow, Corn Box, and much more will be available for spectators and participants to enjoy throughout the event. The concession stand will be open, serving burgers, hot dogs, chips and more! Fresh fudge and other goodies will be available in the Gift Shop.

The cost to participate in the Challenge Run is $35/runner through July 31, $40/runner August 1 - August 16, and $50/runner on the day of the event. Spectator admission is $5 each, and kids under age 3 are free. A portion of all entry fees will be donated back to the March of Dimes to further their efforts in "Growing Stronger, Healthier Babies."
