Get ready to lace up your sneakers and join in on the hoof-stomping fun at the second annual Team BEEF Ranch Run, hosted by the Oregon CattleWomen in Madras, Oregon, on March 30th! This family-inclusive event isn’t just your average run; it’s a celebration of fitness, community, and the journey from pasture to plate.
Picture this: you’ll be pounding the pavement alongside fellow fitness enthusiasts and ranching aficionados, all while soaking in the real story of beef production, from the sprawling pastures to the savory burgers on your plate. Along the course, you’ll find fun facts about beef and be greeted by volunteers, including local FFA members, at aid stations ready to cheer you on.
But the excitement doesn’t stop there. Finishers will be rewarded with stunning medals, a comfy t-shirt, and a swag bag filled with goodies. And let’s not forget the ultimate post-run reward: a mouthwatering Painted Hills Natural Beef burger and a refreshing drink, accompanied by lively music at the finish line celebration.
Also, this isn’t just a small 5k or 10k event – they have everything from a 1-miler (a “Calf Dash” for the kids) up to a half and full marathon. Check out the maps below:
Starting and ending at the Symons Beef Company’s 40-acre feed facility, runners will be immersed in the essence of ranch life while taking in breathtaking views of the Cascades and the scenic plains of Madras. Plus, you’ll be running past the very grounds where some of your favorite grocery store products are sourced!
So whether you’re a seasoned marathoner or just looking for a fun family outing in a likely new location to you, the Team BEEF Ranch Run promises an unforgettable experience that blends fitness, community, and the love of beef.
