Here’s some information about the upcoming 5K to benefit my volunteer home, Poplar Spring Animal Sanctuary. The race is May 17 at 8:30 a.m.
The 5K run and 1 mile (or optional 1.7 mile) fun walk is a fund raiser dedicated to supporting the life saving work Poplar Spring does everyday. From the warm up, running and walking on the scenic trails, the dog and people raffles, the prizes, and the abundance of food, a good time will be had by all. The race will be held at Wheaton Regional Park in Wheaton, Maryland. Although dogs cannot participate in the run, they are more than welcome to come out and join the 1 mile and 1.7 mile walk.
Registration fee is $20.00 for the 5K Run and 1 Mile Fun Walk prior to May 1, 2009. Beginning May 1, 2009 the registration fee is $25.00, and $28.00 on the day of the race.
Although not required, race participants can go the extra mile and raise additional funds online for Poplar Spring. You can even select a picture of a specific Poplar Spring animal to proudly display on your Web page, and let your friends and family know about that animal as well as all the others at Poplar Spring Animal Sanctuary. Prizes will be awarded to the two entrants with the highest pledge totals.
