Registration covers either option. Teams are encouraged to sign-up to run/walk together. All event proceeds benefit survivors and families moving beyond abuse through Women Aware.
BIG NEWS!! RUN. WALK. WAG. THIS YEAR, WE WELCOME RUNNERS, WALKERS, AND LEASHED FURRY COMPANIONS FOR A FAMILY-FRIENDLY MORNING!
The worry of leaving a beloved pet behind to escape abuse is a big reason some victim-survivors choose not to seek shelter. We want to change that by transitioning to a pet friendly shelter. Help Women Aware keep survivors and their beloved companion safe and together.
REGISTER IN ADVANCE OF RACE DAY (UP TO 11:59PM ON 10.8) AND SAVE $10! ADVANCE REGISTRATION IS $40. REGISTRATION ON RACE DAY WILL BE $50. CASH OR CHECK ONLY. Free for children 11 and under. No charge for leashed furry companions.
