About the Lace up for Dementia Awareness
The course is a road run and walk on and around Smoke Crest Farm, an animal rescue and sanctuary outside Barre. The terrain is rural, and the surroundings are farmland rather than pavement and storefronts. After finishing, runners can wander through the sanctuary and meet the animals.
The event is organized around dementia awareness, with Cornerstone Caregiving as a partner. The start area is at the farm itself, so parking should be straightforward. There is no separate pre-race pickup location mentioned, which suggests everything happens on site the morning of the event.
