The Harvard Conservation Trust will host its eighth annual Run for the Hills 5K Sunday, Oct. 22, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., at Harvard Park on Lancaster County Road. This year, in addition to the 5K trail race, there will be a noncompetitive 2.5K (1.5-mile) walk on the same wooded trails and paths abutting the track that the runners follow. Participants of all ages are welcome. Same-day registration is available at 8:30 a.m. at the track, or, to avoid race-day lines, register online at www.runforthehills.org. Proceeds benefit the Harvard Conservation Trust’s work to preserve the unique character and natural resources of Harvard. Learn more about the trust at www.harvardconservationtrust.org.
