They provide free or discounted spay/neuter services to animal rescues, shelters, and income-qualified pet owners.
All donations will address the root cause of shelter overpopulation, and make sure every animal gets to have the loving home they deserve. Learn more about them here!
Not up for a 5k, we also have a virtual 1 Mile Dog Jog, Stroller Strut and Human Run. Can't make it race day, we'll also have a virtual option to run the 5k.
A virtual race is a race that can be run or walked from any location you choose. You can run, jog, or walk on the road, on the trail, on a treadmill or track. You get to run your own race, at your own pace. Virtual runners not eligible for awards.
