Run Your Mutt 5K Run & 1 Mile Walk/Run
About this race
Monroe County Friends of Animals (MCFA) is sponsoring their third annual 5K and 1-mile walk/run.

Event timing will be provided by East Coast Adventures.
Medals will be awarded to all participants with special recognition for the top 3 male and female finishers. All participants will receive an event T-shirt and a SWAG bag.
