Events
 
5k – The 5k race will be timed and is a USATF certified course that is run partially on the street and partially on a gravel trail. Please make sure if you want to do the 5k with your dog that your dog is in appropriate shape (just like you!).
 
Mile Fun Run – There is a one mile loop for little walkers, whether it’s little kids or little dogs. For some 3.1 miles is just too far, but why should they miss out on the fun?
 
Adoptable Dogs – You will be able to meet many adoptable dogs, both on the course and off. They are noted by their vests that say adopt me. Take some time to get to know some of these sweet pups.

Check out the great "Adopt Me" dog vests that our volunteer Girl Scout Micaela made for our shelter dogs.  We hope other volunteers will make them too!   If you go to her website to the sewing instructions section there are complete step by step instructions with photos!
