Hundreds of human participants and their canine companions have taken part in this race, providing our community with a healthy and fun event that gets bigger and better every year. The scenic, flat course ensures that first time walkers and runners can comfortably participate alongside more serious runners. Along with the race, the day will feature many area vendors, bobbing for tennis balls, concessions, a 50/50 raffle, music, feathered and scaley friends, and more...
If you’re looking for a day filled with excitement, fun, fellowship and lots of tail wagging, plan to take part in this year’s Furry Friends 5K on May 21. All proceeds will benefit the Humane Society of Jefferson County, which has proudly served our community since 1922.
