As part of the Orchard Series, Breeze in the Trees gives participants the opportunity to witness the seasonal development of the pecan orchard, creating an experience that is both memorable and meaningful year after year.

This run is part of the “Orchard Series,” which offers runners the chance to traverse the pecan orchards at various seasons of the year. The Breeze in the Trees event occurs early in the morning during the summer when the trees boast a full canopy of leaves. Though the pecans aren’t yet ripe for consumption, they have reached their maximum size. This provides participants with a rare opportunity to explore the farm and enjoy a truly spectacular running experience amidst the trees.
