A Huge Thank You to Our Student Volunteers!🐾

We would like to extend a special thank you to the amazing student volunteers from Class 101 and Madisonville North Hopkins FFA for their support of our 5K!

You'll see these dedicated young people throughout the course helping direct runners, assisting at the registration table, and capturing photos of the day's events. Their willingness to give their time and energy helps make this event a success.

We love seeing our youth step up, give back to the community, and support our shelter. Thank you for making a difference and helping us help the animals!

For the last couple of years, we've been asked why we don't recognize our oldest runner to complete the 5K. This year, we're excited to change that!

Our oldest participant to cross the finish line will receive a beautiful gift box filled with delicious goodies, generously donated by Psalm 34 Bakery & Preserves. We are so grateful for their support and this special addition to our race day awards!

If you haven't registered yet, there's still time! We will be at Madisonville City Park on Friday, June 5th, from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM at the pavilion closest to the playground for pre-race packet pickup. Pre-registered participants can pick up their shirts and bib numbers, and we'll also be available to answer any last-minute questions.

Thank you, Psalm 34 Bakery & Preserves, for helping us make this year's event even more special!

Who's running with their dog? 🐾

We have a special prize just for our four-legged participants!

The first furry friend to bring their human across the finish line will take home this amazing prize package courtesy of Tender Care Veterinary Clinic!

Whether you're running, jogging, or just enjoying the event together, this is a great opportunity to show off your pup's speed and teamwork.

There's still time to sign up, so grab your leash and join us for a fun-filled morning supporting a great cause!

A huge thank you to Tender Care Veterinary Clinic for sponsoring this pawsome prize! ❤️🐾
