Join 300 runners and their dogs for a family fun 5-K through the local neighborhood. Each runner gets "the best swag bag ever" - a reusable backpack bag full of goodies and coupons as well as a technical race shirt! All dogs get an FOAU doggie bandana! Prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd overall, men and women running with and without a dog. There will also be a prize for the winner of each age category - men and women, with and without a dog so there are lots of chances to get great stuff along with the excellent race bag and technical shirt. You can run or walk the 5-K9 or a shorter 1K stroll around the park. Either way, you will get the same swag!
