Fourth Annual Race for Raymond

Please join the Hopkinton Police Department on Sunday, May 3rd, at 10:00 a.m. for the Fourth Annual Race for Raymond.  In November 2022, the Hopkinton Police Department enlisted Raymond, a 10 week old Goldendoodle puppy and began a Compassion Dog Program to enrich community relations and provide support to those in need.  The Hopkinton Compassion Dog Program is funded solely through donations and fund-raising efforts. 

As the program has continued to grow, we have been able to give back to the local community. This year, we are proud and honored to support the Maddie Potts Foundation. 

The Hopkinton Police Compassion Dog Program has been a resounding success with countless deployments and assignments throughout the state.   Please join Raymond’s fans, coworkers, and other runners/walkers for a 5k race at scenic Camp Yawgoog.  The 5k course will begin on a gravel road and end on pavement. 

Participation medals will be handed out, as well as shirts while supplies last. Placement medals will be awarded an hour after the race start time. 

Friendly, leashed dogs are welcome.  Thank you and we hope to see you there!

Join fellow runners on May 3, 2026 for the Fourth Annual Race for Raymond. It's a fantastic 5K featuring a flat and fast course in Hopkinton.
