About the Paws For A Cause 5k
This race starts at Stoner Boat Launch and raises money for a local youth organization focused on education and leadership. Pets are welcome on the course, so expect a range of running partners. Awards go to overall and age division finishers, and the entry options include add-ons for dog owners who want to treat their four-legged companion to something extra.
The start area is at the boat launch, which gives the morning an open, outdoor feel. Race-day festivities and entertainment are part of the setup, so there is activity beyond the finish line.
