Description
Join us for The Compassion 5K, a community-centered race supporting both people and pets in need of compassionate care. Hosted by Griswold Home Care, this event brings together runners, walkers, families, and animal lovers to make a positive impact in New Castle County.
Proceeds from the race will benefit Faithful Friends Animal Society - helping provide food, care, and safe housing for furry friends. Whether you’re a seasoned runner, casual walker, or simply want to support the cause, this event offers something for everyone.
Together we hope to raise awareness in care options for our loved ones – both people and pets.
