October 5, 2024

Ready to show your horsepower? Hope’s Legacy Equine Rescue is hosting its seventh annual “Hoofin’ It For Horses” 5K Trail Run on Saturday October 7, 2023. The trail will take you through the beautiful, peaceful terrain of Castle Rock Farm, Hope’s Legacy’s farm. This run is open to all age groups. All proceeds will benefit the animals at Hope’s Legacy, a 501(c)(3) charity.

Since 2008, Hope’s Legacy has rescued over 680 horses, donkeys, mules, miniature horses, and ponies from situations ranging from Animal Control seizures to owner surrenders. The need for equine rescue in Virginia is not decreasing, and Hope’s Legacy functions as a necessary community resource primarily through individual donations. Castle Rock Farm was purchased to enable the Rescue to eventually accommodate about 50% more equines than currently served.

Hope’s Legacy will be holding a free public Open House from 9AM – 2PM following the Hoofin’ It For Horses run. Meet and learn about our 4-legged friends, and take advantage of the food trucks, meet and greets with the horses, vendors, a tack sale.

Hoofin’ It For Horses will be held Saturday, October 5, 2024, at 2080 Castle Rock Road, Afton, VA 22920. Registration on October 5th will begin at 7:00AM, with the Trail Run beginning at 8AM. Early registration for the 5K (now through September 19, 2024): Adults $30, 17 and under $20. Race will be subject to weather.

Late registration (September 20 through October 3): Adults $40, 17 and under $30.

This year we will be offering two different ways to participate. In person on October 5 and virtual.
