Sandhill Shuffle 5k Run/Walk

The Sandhill Shuffle is back!! 
This time we are hosting this super fun family event the weekend of the beloved Sandhill Crane Festival in Wheatfield!  On Friday evening, September 20th, 2024, we will kick off the Festival weekend with some 5k Run/Walk fun, while the Wheatfield Chamber of Commerce hosts a live music event and beer garden!  What better way to unwind after a race than relaxing in the park with live music! 

The race will once again start and end at Centennial Park, in the heart of the Town of Wheatfield, across from our own Heather's Diner and Stower's & Son Meat & Grocer!   Enjoy 3.1 miles weaving through our small town streets!  All proceeds from the race will continue to go toward our Centennial Park playground project.  We won't stop running until we reach our goal!
