Join us for of our annual Dash For Dogs 5K and Strutt Your Mutt Dog Walk and help out needy dogs in our community and beyond. Every day our caring staff and volunteers help dogs, and other companion animals, in so many ways- providing shelter, care, healthy food, a warm blanket, needed medical care and behavioral support and enrichment. Come walk or run the course along the beautiful Androscoggin Riverwalk path. This is one of the few events in Maine that allow you to also bring your dog (must be current on vaccinations and NO flex-lead leashes). There is also an option to participate virtually.
This event is held RAIN OR SHINE and starts promptly at 9:00 a.m.
We do not offer refunds for this event, including shirts that are not picked up by raceday (if you bought a shirt but do not attend the race, reach out to us before 4/25 to indicate you would like us to hold it for you to pickup).
