Organiser's Description
BIG NEWS!! 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. Free for children 11 and under. No charge for leashed furry companions.
