    What: Let’s Grow Together at PEACE Ranch! Join us at PEACE Ranch as we plant our 2026 Community Garden—a joyful, hands-in-the-dirt day filled with fresh air, new friendships, and meaningful purpose.

    We’ll be bringing the Ezekiel Memorial Garden to life for spring by preparing beds and planting vegetable and flower seeds in our garden boxes. Whether you can lend a hand for an hour or stay for the whole event, every bit of help makes a difference!

    This is a fun, welcoming volunteer opportunity for individuals, families, and groups of all ages—no gardening experience needed, just a willingness to dig in and have fun.

    Bring garden gloves and favorite tools if you have them.

    Come as you are, leave knowing you helped something beautiful grow.

    Let’s plant seeds, build community, and grow something great—together.

    Our family-friendly space is perfect for relaxing, cheering, and connecting during and after the race, with a medal ceremony following the finish.

    All registered participants will receive a race t-shirt, official timed results, and post-race refreshments. Plaques will be awarded to the top three male and female runners, and their names will be added to the Annual Race Plaque at Peace Ranch.
