We’re lacing up our sneakers and getting ready for this year’s Runnin’ For Rescues! 🐾 The 9th Annual Runnin' For Rescues 5K/10K will take place Saturday, November 21, 2026. The Boaz Parks and Recreation Department wants to thank everyone who has participated in this event as a sponsor, volunteer, or runner/walker over the years. None of this could happen without the incredible support of our community! We look forward to your continued involvement this year and in the years to come. Our Diamond Sponsor, Peoples Independent Bank, proudly presents this event. As in years past, this event is all about Second Chance Shelter — a non-profit, no-kill dog shelter doing incredible work for animals in need! Founded by Doug and Wanda McGee in 2008, Second Chance Shelter has grown to house and care for over 250 dogs at a time. Their dedication and compassion for animals are truly inspiring. To help make this event as successful as possible, we’re reaching out to local businesses to become sponsors
