A Colonial Road Runners Grand Prix Event

Recap on the Event:

The inaugural FURever Homes Race was a phenomenal success! To see dogs and their human companions walk and run at our event, all in the name of homeless pets; it took our breath away. More than $10,000 was raised to help create a kinder more compassionate community. We had 270 participants sign up, amazing sponsor booths, 15 event sponsors, exciting race results, awesome raffle prizes, and great community support. 
It’s hard to describe the energy of this life-saving momentum, but to be part of a crowd who all share the same love of pets, this sense of community is priceless. We can’t wait to make this an annual event, and make next year’s FURever Homes Walk/Run bigger and better than ever!
Our homeless pets will enjoy the benefits of this event for quite some time and YOU made that possible. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you!
