They provide free or discounted spay/neuter services to animal rescues, shelters, and income-qualified pet owners.

All donations will address the root cause of shelter overpopulation, and make sure every animal gets to have the loving home they deserve.

Not up for a 5k or 3k, we also have a virtual 1 Mile Dog Jog, Stroller Strut and Human Run.  Can’t make it race day, we’ll also have a virtual option to run the 3k or 5k. 

A virtual race is a race that can be run or walked from any location you choose. You can run, jog, or walk on the road, on the trail, on a treadmill or track. You get to run your own race, at your own pace. 

Race entry includes a gender specific, moisture wicking tech shirt (perfect for summer running and walking), finisher medal, finisher certificate, free finisher photo and a $5.00 donation to Pet Friendly Services of Indiana.  Packet mailing for an additional fee.  Packet mailing free for virtual entrants.

Go the extra mile and become a fundraiser!
