Description
Ready, Set, SNIFF! 5K Race and 1-Mile Walk at the 20th annual BARCStoberfest helps to save homeless animals at BARCS animal shelter. At BARCStoberfest, you can run or walk as a team with your four-legged friend, just as yourself or with your fundraising teammates. Here's how you do it:
5K Race: Participants in the 5K must register through Runsignup.org by clicking register now above. The race fee is $50, which also includes an ultra-soft commemorative T-shirt, a doggie bandana, and a free drink in the dog-friendly beer garden.
1-Mile Walk: Participants must first register on the BARCStoberfest site and create a fundraising page. Collect or donate at least $50 to take part in the walk. You must meet the $50 minimum fundraising requirement by the morning of the event. Walkers also receive an ultra-soft T-shirt, a doggie bandana, and a free drink in the dog-friendly beer garden.
We are asking all runners and walkers to create a personal fundraising page. Your fundraising efforts will help us to care for the over 11,000 animals that come to BARCS each year. As Maryland's largest shelter, we could not help these animals—many of which are sick, injured and require urgent care—without your help.
