Welcome to the Animal Run. If you care about animals, the planet and your health, you’re in the right place. By running our 5K, 10K, or 1/2 marathon, your registration fees support several local animal advocate organizations all at once. Bonus, by attending our 100% plant-fueled events and supporting the small businesses who will be there selling their plant-based products, you help reduce environmental impact thereby making the world just a little bit better. Thank you for supporting the animals.
All races start and finish in the Giant Cluster picnic area which is a short walk from the Giant Highway Staging Area parking lot. All courses are mainly flat but have enjoyable rolling dirt and gravel trails. You will love running this scenic course! Trail strollers are welcome but baby will have a bumpy ride.
– 5k course goes counter-clockwise once
– 10k course is the 5k course but then reverses direction (washing machine style)
– 1/2 Marathon course is two loops going the same direction
– Dogs are allowed to run on the course and wear race bibs
– Once runners cross the finish line, their finish line photo will be taken and prizes will be given to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place women and men for each distance
– Unless many kids register to run, there will be no separate kids’ competition
– There will be a podium photo for the race winners so please stay at the finish line until the photo has been taken

– Runners are encouraged to chat with the vendors and learn more about this year’s beneficiaries by visiting their tables
– Please also consider adopting a puppy or dog from Rocket Dog Rescue who cannot wait to meet you at the event
