About the Pope Memorial SPCA Frosty Paws 5K
The course starts outside a humane education center and loops through the grounds of a private school nearby before returning to the start. The terrain is approachable, and the route has a clear out-and-back shape. Dogs on leash are welcome, so expect a fair number of four-legged participants alongside the humans.
The start area is at the humane education center off Silk Farm Road, across from the animal shelter. Baby joggers are also welcome, which tends to shape the feel of the start line: strollers, leashes, and a generally unhurried energy before the gun goes off.
