Join the race to help homeless pets by registering for the Humane Society of Jefferson County’s eighth annual Furry Friends 5k Run/Walk.
This family- and dog-friendly event will take place on Saturday, May 22, at 9 a.m. at Jefferson County Fair Park.
Visit furryfriends5k.org/register to sign up online, or stop by the shelter between Fort Atkinson and Jefferson to fill out a registration form.
Registering early helps the Humane Society prepare for the event and also guarantees participants a race day T-shirt and a swag bag full of goodies from the event sponsors.
Register on or before April 4 to take advantage of the earlybird discount of $30 for ages 14 and up and $20 for ages 13 and under.
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 and more.
All proceeds from the race/walk will benefit the Humane Society of Jefferson County.
For more information, contact Taylor Marshall, community outreach coordinator, at (920) 674-2048.
