Paws for Life
About this race
This is one race which is happy to say "they have gone to the dogs." The featured 5K, which begins at 10 am, is followed by a 1-mile walk for participants and their dogs.
The race starts and finishes at the Sanford Creek Elementary School in Rolesville.
Profits from the event will benefit the Paws for Life Animal Rescue (formerly known as the Franklin County Humane Society) in their goal to build an animal shelter where area pets find safe refuge until they can be adopted to permanent homes.
In the 5K, awards will be presented to the first three males overall, to the first three females overall, and to the first-place finisher in each of the following age groups (both sexes): 15-under, 16-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, and 65-over.
