100% OF PROCEEDS FROM THIS RACE GO TO FRIENDSHIP APL'S MISSION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!



We ask that those running with dogs start towards the back and please keep your dogs on a short leash. The race route is out and back so we will need all participants to be aware of runners coming back on the other side of the trail.



*The number of "rentable" shelter dogs available will be dependent upon the dogs up for adoption at the shelter as of the day of the event, as well as the weather that day. FAPL will bring as many dogs as is possible, but please be aware that we may only be able to bring a handful, and potentially none, depending upon the aforementioned circumstances. Available dogs can be "rented" for a discretionary donation to the shelter, with a suggested donation of $15-20.
