My experience was more than just the run. The staff and Young Living Farm was friendly. The race was well organized. The swag bag was EXCELLENT and I loved the shirt and medal. After the race, I wandered the grounds and took pictures. It was a great morning. Loved the energy at the starting line and the live music at the finish line. Next year I will bring family to enjoy the booths and activities afterwards.

Pros: The lavender makes it fun, smells amazing and fun for the family. I enjoyed the live music afterwards, touring the grounds and the bag with goodies for runners. Cons: uphill (bring glasses or the sub will jusy be in your face), the road you run on wasn't very well maintained (sand in places), crowded/walking people don't move, overpriced breakfast that didn't include anything other than a pancake.
I had a great time on this run. Picked up my packet Sat. am with no problems. Ladies shirts run VERY small. I ordered a L but instead I choose a XXL and that was still not super loose. The trail was downhill to start then slight uphill, then flat, and back to downhill with flat at the end. The festival itself was super fun! Mechanical bull riding, archery, knife throwing, petting zoo, jousting, yummy food, and fun music. Thanks for a lovely day!!
Packet pick up was tedious & slow. Only 2 people to distribute the packets. Cheap T-shirts. NO finishers medal, NO photographers, only top 3 finishers received prizes = no women received prizes. No age or gender group divisions. No computers at the finish line. Annoyed my 72 y/o Dad had to pay $10 to stand at the finish line to cheer us on. Security guards at the gate to prevent non paying observers from entering. $80 not a dime went to a charitable cause.
PROS: packet extras smells good CONS: shirt not running, COURSE AWFUL3/4 up hill dirt rocks not level 1 water narrow road walkers don't move over pass by weeds UNFRIENDLY people kicking family members for cheering for you since they didn't pay for the next event weren't staying for end race in gravel cars driving through course no course map no info on the race in general unorganized line snacks long only out to make you pay, greedy $35 for a 5k expecting good race for $

Well organized. Soft farm roads with a wonderful view and smell of lavender flowers. First 1 mile is a little uphill then rest of the miles are downhill. Wished them to remove the water from the balloon bouncer slide for the little kids. Bring family and stay for the festival. Will run next year.

I ran/walked this with my family. So much fun! The course its self goes through the lavender field, its not a difficult course at all but its fun to see the lavender. They have great activities for the family after you run. Great for all ages to do. Next year I will have my 5 year old run with me.
