Join us for OUR 7th Annual Event on April 27, 2019

Join us for our 7th annual 5K Run/Walk with your dog in Midland City Forest.  We are expecting 250-300 participants and 150 of their dogs. Runners and walkers come from throughout Michigan to participate.   

This is a timed event with prizes, t shirts, and a finisher dog tag for your dog. You can run or walk, with or without your dog. Aid and water stations are positioned along the trail.  This is a family-friendly and kid-friendly event and the trail is stroller-friendly. 

Proceeds from this special fundraiser will directly benefit Great Lakes Bay Animal Society’s goal of providing quality veterinary care for animals in transition to their forever homes.
