The Cherry Blossom Run

The Fresh Picks Cherry Blossom Run is a beautiful features magnificent course(s) through Rowley & Hawkins Fruit Farms located near Basin City, Washington. It Features a 1 mile, 5k and 10k courses. The courses are designed to run through the most blossoms possible. Each route will travel on mostly hard packed dirt/ some gravel/dirt farm roads and down beautiful orchard rows with millions of blossoms. The 1mi is fairly flat and easy for all kids and ages to do, the 5k has some hills but also takes you through a variety of other cherry blossoms. The 10k will take you by the apples, peaches, apricots, sweet cherries, tart cherries, and vast open fields to show you some of eastern Washington's best countryside! Our families are 7th generation cherry farmers. The Rowley and Hawkins Fruit Farms and families were the pioneer growers in the Pacific Northwest and the first to grow Tart Cherries in WA State. We would like to invite you and your family to come enjoy one of the most beautiful times of the year on our farm. Runners (and walkers) of all ages are welcome. Each runner will receive a race t-shirt, swag bag with: products from our farm, coupon to our store "Fresh Picks Fruit and Smoothies", a participation medal, and other items from sponsors of the race.
