Farm & Forest All- Terrain 5K

Come run a majestical 5K with the Stamford Museum & Nature Center through the woods on their beautiful sprawling land. April 21, 2024 start 8:00 AM. Note you must be 16 or older to run this All Terrain 5K. 

The Stamford Museum & Nature Center is dedicated to the preservation and interpretation of art and popular culture, the natural and agricultural sciences, and history. The Museum is a vital cultural and educational resource for the community, and a focal point for family activity, lifelong learning, and inspiration. We seek to inspire creativity, foster self-discovery, promote environmental stewardship, and nurture an appreciation for learning through exhibitions, education programs, and special events that enhance every visitor’s experience of our unique site.

With over 80 acres of hardwood forest, miles of hiking trails and peaceful walking paths, the SM&NC is the model nature-based organization for getting families outdoors year-round. We revel in social engagement, welcoming adults and kids for programs like Drive-in Movies, Farm-to-Table Suppers, Cooking Classes, Farmer & Artisan Markets, Clam Bakes and Festivals. Heckscher Farm is a working farm and home to a variety of animals including heritage breeds and exotics. We make our very own line of Maple Syrup right here in our Sugar House + Cidery. We host or curate six major fine art exhibitions in our galleries annually, and have grown a diverse Permanent Collection of more than 20,000 cultural objects, artifacts, and works of art since 1936.
