We’re lacing up our sneakers and getting ready for this year’s Runnin’ For Rescues! 🐾
The 9th Annual Runnin' For Rescues 5K/10K will take place Saturday, November 21, 2026. The Boaz Parks and Recreation Department wants to thank everyone who has participated in this event as a sponsor, volunteer, or runner/walker over the years. None of this could happen without the incredible support of our community! We look forward to your continued involvement this year and in the years to come.
Our Diamond Sponsor, Peoples Independent Bank, proudly presents this event.
As in years past, this event is all about Second Chance Shelter — a non-profit, no-kill dog shelter doing incredible work for animals in need! Founded by Doug and Wanda McGee in 2008, Second Chance Shelter has grown to house and care for over 250 dogs at a time. Their dedication and compassion for animals are truly inspiring.
To help make this event as successful as possible, we’re reaching out to local businesses to become sponsors. Your donation will support Second Chance Shelter’s mission to provide quality care for dogs while they await adoption. There are eight sponsor levels available, each with valuable advertising opportunities based on your level of support.
Come join us for the Annual Runnin' For Rescues 5K/10K Race and enjoy a scenic run through the beautiful Boaz area! Both the 5K and 10K will begin and end at the Boaz Recreation Center (400 Elizabeth Street, Boaz, AL 35957), with water stations provided along the route.
🏅 Finisher medals will be awarded at the finish line, and 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners in each age group (male and female) will receive prizes during the awards ceremony.
Register by Sunday, October 25, 2026, to be guaranteed a shirt and medal! (No refunds. The event will be held rain or shine.)
