Richmond SPCA Dog Jog and 5K Run

The Dog Jog and 5K Run is an annual fundraiser for the Richmond SPCA, presented by Car Pool Car Wash & Detail.

Awards will be presented to the top three overall male and female finishers. The top three males and females in each age group will receive a ribbon, and there will also be prizes awarded to top fundraisers (fundraising is not required to participate). Registration is $20 for the 5K Run through March 6, when the fee increases to $30. Registration fee increases again on March 18, to $40.

The event will feature a timed, competitive 5K Run (9:30 a.m.), a fun, walker- and pet-friendly 1-mile Dog Jog (11 a.m.), an awards ceremony, and the Holiday Barn Pet Resorts Vendor Fair, featuring activities for kids and pets, music, a walk-up microchip clinic ($20), and lots of cool vendors (9 a.m. to 1 p.m.). Our adoption center and Lora Robins Gift Shop will also be open.

All events are pet friendly except for the 5K Run, which is for people only. Participants may register individually or as part of a team, and have the option of raising donations to help support the pets cared for by the Richmond SPCA. You do not have to be a registered participant to attend the vendor fair or to visit our center on the day of the event. All activities take place at the Richmond SPCA's Robins-Starr Humane Center, located at 2519 Hermitage Road in Richmond, Virginia. We hope to see you there!

Pre-registration for the 5K or 1-mile Dog Jog is highly recommended. Fees increase on March 6 and again on March 18. Please call 804-521-1308 or e-mail info@richmondspca.org for more information, or visit www.richmondspca.org/race - online registration available!
