After the race, you are welcomed to stay at the Farm for the Sunflower U-Pick Festival which includes visiting the sunflower fields to pick a flower, craft & food vendors and entertainment.
Tickets are $35 each (7 & under is free) and includes an Official Race T-shirt and Finishers Medal if signed up by July 17th.
