THOMASVILLE — Pebble Hill Plantation’s Quail Trail 5k Run is back, and the popular event is scheduled Oct. 21.
The course for the Quail Trail 5K will traverse the historic grounds and beautiful woodlands of Pebble Hill. The course is USA Track & Field-certified, and the terrain is varied with changes in elevation and surfaces. Participants may run or walk the course.
All proceeds from the event will benefit the Pebble Hill Plantation Preservation Fund, which helps with the care and preservation of more than 60 historic structures and the conservation of the 3,000-acre property. Pebble Hill Plantation is a 20th century sporting estate listed on the National Register of Historic Places and opened to the public in October of 1983 as a museum, as was the wish of its last owner, Elisabeth “Pansy” Ireland Poe. Pebble Hill Plantation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
