Break out your snowshoes! Smart Farm’s 5th annual Frozen Zucchini 5K Snowshoe Adventure is coming up this Sunday, Janaury 25th at Citizens Park in Barrington and the weather forecast is calling for… SNOW!

No experience is necessary to take part in this fun family tradition from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Citizens Park, 511 Lake Zurich Road, in Barrington. The cost to participate is $35 if you bring your own snowshoes or $45 if you need to rent snowshoes for the 5K adventure.

There’s lots of fun planned for kids during the Snowshoe Adventure. Children age five and older will be supervised by a High School team during the race. The children will have a number of fun activities outside and, if it is extremely cold, will have access to the pavilion where they will have Hot Chocolate. Please dress your kids appropriately for 45 minute of outdoor activities. Spaces are limited so CLICK HERE to register now. This kids’ event is free, but donations are much appreciated!!!
