2020 Cow Paddy Run

Thursday, April 9th from 6:00pm to Saturday, April 11th, 2020 7:30pm

About

Get ready for family-friendly fun on the run at the Cow Paddy Run at Gully Park! This is one of the oldest group races in Fayetteville and was started to promote education and active lifestyles back in the 1980s. The Spark Foundation revived this run in 2011 as part of our mission to create fun and accessible opportunities for physical activity in our community.

 

There’s a 5K for adults and older kids and a 1K Fun Run for the little ones. Don’t worry though, because there aren’t any real cow paddies to avoid. The name is just part of the tradition of this race, which has played a big part in developing Fayetteville’s pro-fitness, pro-fun culture over the years!  

 

Proceeds go to the Fayetteville Public Education Foundation and Spark’s outreach programing, both of which support innovative education projects in our local schools.
