Barnyard Squatch 5K
About this race
Welcome to the inaugural Barnyard Squatch 5K, hosted by Sassquad Trail Running! This isn’t your average, flat road 5K. We are taking you on a scenic tour of The Barnyard Sanctuary’s nearly 200-acre property in Blairstown, NJ. Whether you are a seasoned trail runner looking for a unique challenge or a hiker wanting to spend a beautiful fall morning supporting an incredible cause, this trail party is calling your name! As with all of our events: all paces, all ages, and all peoples are welcome.
100% For The Animals: The Barnyard Sanctuary provides a safe haven for rescued farm animals, giving them a second chance at life. 100% of all donations raised through this event will go directly to The Barnyard Sanctuary to further their mission of rescuing and caring for farm animals.
