Organiser's description
Lace up your running shoes and join us for the RVR Running for a Pawpose 5k! This charity run is a chance to enjoy a beautiful morning while making a tangible difference in the lives of animals in need.

The run will take place at 8am. in Merritt Park in Dardanelle, AR. We'll have awards for the overall male and female runners and walkers.

Since its founding in 2014, this 100% volunteer-run organization has rescued and rehomed nearly 6,000 dogs. As a foster-based rescue, all dogs receive personalized care in loving homes, not kennels. The money raised from this event will help cover essential veterinary costsfrom basic spay/neuter surgeries to more extensive treatments for heartworm and injuries.
