All pre- and post-race activities will take place on the green space in-between the baseball fields. Park by the Playground for the closest parking.
The Fast and the Furriest is for runners, walkers, and their dogs! We are excited to offer a 5K race AND a 5K walk for athletes, beginners and kids alike, while raising money to save lives!
