Poplar Spring Run For The Animals 5K Race 1 Mile Fun Walk

Poplar Spring Animal Sanctuary is hosting its 11th annual "Run for the Animals!" The 5K run and 1 or 1.7 mile fun walk is a fundraiser dedicated to supporting the life saving work Poplar Spring does everyday. From the warm up, running and walking on the scenic trails, the dog and people raffles, the prizes, and the abundance of food, a good time is had by all. Join approximately 600 runners, teams, and individuals competing for prize money and raffle items at Wheaton Regional Park in Silver Spring, Maryland. The race is held at Wheaton Regional Park in Wheaton, Maryland. Although dogs cannot participate in the run, they are more than welcome to come out and join the 1 or 1.7 mile walk.

Anyone can come! It's open to family, friends, dogs, seniors, college students, teens, etc.!!
