From the Race Organizer
🐾 Announcing the 4th Annual Poppy Love 5K – “In Memory of Poppy” 🐾 We are excited to invite you to the 4th Annual Poppy Love 5K, a heartfelt event created in honor of a beloved pup named Poppy. This race began as a way for Poppy’s devoted owner to give back after her puppy survived Parvo with the help of a veterinary assistance program. Since then, it’s grown into a powerful fundraiser supporting local rescues that help animals in need. In February 2025, sweet Poppy crossed the rainbow bridge, but her legacy lives on through this special event. 💖 Each step you take helps continue her mission—providing financial assistance to Oklahoma-based rescues and saving lives. Event Options: Timed 5K 1-Mile Walk Virtual 5K And yes—your dogs are welcome to join the fun! 🐶 📦 Register by September 15, 2026, to receive a race t-shirt and swag bag! Registrations after September 16 or on race day will not include a runner’s bag or t-shirt. Let’s celebrate Poppy’s memory and help more pets get a second chance at life. 🐕❤️
