SWEET PAWS RESCUE BARKTOBERFEST VIRTUAL 5K

PUT YOUR PAWS TO THE PAVEMENT FOR A GREAT CAUSE

Register for the FIRST ever Sweet Paws Rescue Barktoberfest 5k

Our annual Barktoberfest event is historically our largest fundraiser of the year, we are devastated that we had to cancel this year due to the pandemic and have had to brainstorm on some creative ways to raise funds in a safe, socially distanced way. Thus, the idea for the Barktoberfest 5K was born! 

Like so many things in 2020, this event will be VIRTUAL... but it will get you off of the couch, outside into the fresh air and it WILL require pants (or shorts)! The great thing about this event being virtual is that our supporters near and far can join and you have a 3 week window to complete it on a day that works best for you! 

Do this 5k YOUR way! Walk or Run. Alone or with family and friends. Take on the streets in your neighborhood or explore some new trails in a scenic spot. Early bird or night owl....it doesn't matter.  If you have a dog who is able to go the distance, bring them along! 

REGISTER TODAY TO HELP US MEET (AND HOPEFULLY EXCEED) OUR GOAL OF 100 ADULT PARTICIPANTS!
