The Fishkill Rotary will hold a 5K Orchard Run will be held on Sunday, July 29 at Fishkill Farms, 9 Fishkill Farm Rd, in East Fishkill. Participants must pre-register at http://bit.ly/5kOrchardRun. The registration fee is $25.

Vicki Kessler, Immediate Past President, is a four-year Rotarian who has been involved with the Rotary for a decade. She said there will be three races held that day.

“The first race is the Kids’ Dash at 8 a.m. It’s just over ½ mile for 12 and under. They will run around in a loop in the heart of Fishkill Farms and will come up the same spot where they finished, explained Kessler.

The Runners’ Race is a 5K through the apple orchard. This is the race for participants who want to be timed. Adults (and children) can compete on the designated course.
