Beyond the race itself, the Knox/Whitley Humane Association 5K Mutt Strut and Dogwalk is a celebration of community and compassion. Every step taken and every registration directly benefits the Knox/Whitley Humane Association, a non-profit organization dedicated to housing homeless animals and providing crucial spay and neuter assistance.
