All the runs are open to runners and walkers of all levels. Can't make it out on race day, that's okay...we are offering a "NO EXCUSE" Virtual 1 Mile, 5k, or 9k options, so you can still be part of the fun, earn a T-shirt and medal, all the while supporting a great cause. In addition to the race there will be amazing post-race activities for the whole family including a K9 photo booth to get your picture taken with your favorite K9 Hero, and everyone’s favorite, a K9 demonstration that will be bigger and better than ever. RUN FOR FREE! If you raise $100 or more through our fundraising portal, you get to run in the race of your choice for free! This is a great way to support our K9 Heroes and receive a great reward yourself. REMINDER: Since our race is to benefit Law Enforcement K9s, we only allow service dogs to come. There will be several police k9 units present from surrounding agencies. We want our K9s to have the freedom to participate in the run as well as the K9 demonstration afterwards. 100% of the proceeds will benefit K9s United an organization that is committed to supporting and honoring K9 law enforcement officers who detect, protect and serve our communities by giving them the best equipment, amenities, and quality of life during and after their service, and memorializing those who give the ultimate sacrifice. K9s United is dedicated to providing the necessary equipment and training K9 law enforcement officers need in order to protect communities across the country, as well as memorializing those who give the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.
