Participation fees are $29.99 per adult and $24.99 for students of which Radiant Hope will receive a five-dollar donation for each 5k registration.

Participants who register by May 8th will receive a t-shirt and a medal.

Located in Dillsburg, there are over 150 acres of fruit trees, as well as pumpkins and blueberries. Dan and Karen Paulus purchased the orchard in 1999.
