Come join us on May 24th, 2026 for the 5k Meowathon a benefit for Colony Cats! Race begins and ends on the multi-use paths west of the Dublin Community Recreation Center. All proceeds go to Colony Cats -- an all-volunteer, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose primary mission is to address cat overpopulation in central Ohio through public awareness and spay/neuter efforts.
