As the largest community fundraiser for the Monroe County Humane Association, this event consists of a 5K Run and Family/Dog Fun Walk followed by canine and human activities in Dunn Meadow at the RFTA Festival.

Participants are encouraged to collect donations from friends, family, and co-workers to compete for a top prize package while supporting the MCHA’s mission to Lead, Advocate and Educate for Animal Welfare. Proceeds from this event account for 15% of the MCHA’s annual budget.
