Join us for the 2nd Annual Run for a Pawpose 5K, Kids Fun Run (ages 10 & Under), and Doggie Run, which will take place on the evening of Saturday, April 18th. The Run for a Pawpose 5K benefits the Pups With Purpose program through the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office.
This special event helps support a program that gives shelter dogs a second chance, while providing inmates with valuable life, social, and vocational skills.
This event is open to walkers and runners of all ages, as well as dogs. All dogs in attendance must register in advance and proof of the dog's rabies vaccination must be submitted online. Registered dogs will receive a custom race doggie bandana. Human 5K and Fun Run race participants will receive a race t-shirt and a finisher medal.
