Organiser's description

Hello friends!
We hope you all can join us for this year for the 2nd Annual Bad Dog 5000 race! This is a family friendly event with all of the proceeds going to our friends at the Putnam County Cancer Assistance Program (PAC).
Run, walk, or even volunteer to help out. Everyone is welcome!

We host this race every year in honor of our sister, Sam Nienberg, all those that we have lost to cancer, as well as those that are still battling themselves today.

This year we will be hosting this race at The Carry-It bar in Ottawa. This will be our start and finish point, right next to the Putnam County fairgrounds. The course will be similar to the annual Turkey Trot race thats held by the fairgrounds every year. Finishing at this wonderful establishment will give us both indoor and outdoor options for the medal ceremony and fellowship afterwards. They also have really cold beverages and AC. Bonus! LOL
T-shirts provided for all who preregister. Some shirts will be available on race day, but no guarantees.
We hope to see you all there!
