This inspiring 3.1-mile (5K) run/walk offers a fantastic opportunity to enjoy the outdoors while directly supporting the lifesaving mission of the York County SPCA.

This community-focused event encourages runners, walkers, and those strolling with their four-legged buddies to come together for a meaningful morning of movement, compassion, and fun. Join fellow animal lovers for a rewarding experience that helps ensure animals in need receive a second chance.
