This annual event, celebrating its 7th year, is more than just a race; it's a powerful fundraiser for canine cancer research, organized by the Summers Charity Fund.

Participants can look forward to a welcoming atmosphere, complete with pre- and post-race refreshments and snacks, and water stations will be available along the course to keep you hydrated.
