I love this event!
Poplar Spring Animal Sanctuary is hosting its 10th annual "Run for the Animals" on Sunday, May 19.
The 5K run and 1 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 will be had by all.
The race will be held at Wheaton Regional Park in Wheaton, Maryland. Although dogs can not participate in the run, they are more than welcome to come out and join the 1 mile walk.
NEWLY REVISED COURSE! This year's course has been modified so that the first two miles are FLAT with a beautiful run through Brookside Gardens!
Registration fee is $25.00 for the 5K Run and 1 Mile Fun Walk prior to April 22, 2013. Beginning April 22, 2013 the registration fee is $28.00, and $30.00 on the day of the race.

If you would prefer not to register online click here to access a registration form that you can print and mail to Poplar Spring.
Race participants also have the option to go the extra mile and raise additional funds online for Poplar Spring. You can even select a picture of a specific Poplar Spring animal to proudly display on your web page, and let your friends and family know about that animal as well as all the others at Poplar Spring Animal Sanctuary.
Chip racing! Timing chips will be distributed to all runners.
Attention Walkers: For those interested in a longer walk you now have the choice of either the 1 mile walk or the alternate 1.7 mile walk.
