Stop the Suffering, Start the Saving Virtual 5k/1 Mile

We’re eager to announce our annual Stop the Suffering - Start the Saving 5k/1 Mile race will now take place as a virtual event! This allows everyone to safely participate while supporting our cause. Participants will choose their 5k or 1 mile course to complete anytime between May 9th through May 17th. Race shirts will be mailed by the end of May and shipping is covered with registration. 

Stop the Suffering is a local animal rescue group in Columbus, Ohio. STS operates a few programs, including a large transport program every Thursday. STS transports over 4,000 animals to safety a year. STS also operates a foster and adoption program, as well as a sponsorship program. The sponsorship program helps STS save dogs who are in need of emergency medical care, at risk of euthanasia due to space, or just need out of the shelter. STS may sponsor a low cost need like a pull fee, or a much larger cost like emergency surgery. By joining us, you are able to help many dogs get to safety! We will have some great swag, including shirts and medals.
