Welcome spring with the 26th Annual Bud Break! Take a gorgeous 5K run/walk through the Arboretum gardens during the peak of spring blooms. The certified 5K course starts and ends at the Farm at the Arb. The Kids 1K loops around the event lawns near the historic red barn, allowing for a great area to cheer on the little racers.

Following the run/walk, racers are encouraged to explore the rest of the Arboretum and enjoy the 40,000+ spring blooms.
