Event Update:
Our 13th Annual Race for the Rescues looks a lot different this year. We are following local government officials’ COVID-19 guidelines and converting to a virtual race.
What is a Virtual Race?
In general, a virtual race, unlike a traditional race, can be run at any time and can be run anywhere. Participants can walk, use a treadmill, run outside, push baby strollers, walk/run with your dog – think of the possibilities! Participants can run or walk this particular race at any speed they like. Virtual races can be completed on a specific day or if that’s not convenient, most organizers designate a block of time so the race can be completed whenever and however is most convenient for the participant! To be considered for prizes, the “official” race day will be September 26 (between 7am and 12 noon). If you are running because you believe in the cause that SNIPSA represents, you will be able to upload your 5K times through October 4th.
Race participants will have two options this year for running the race. Learn more about our virtual race and read our FAQ’s at https://snipsa.org/race-for-the-rescues-faq/

In 2008, SNIPSA introduced an innovative, competitive 5K race where participants could participate and earn recognition with (or without) their dogs. The Annual Race for the Rescues was born and quickly became the top fundraising effort that we organize each year. Proceeds from the race provide funding for homeless and abandoned animals and spay/neuter outreach, all right here in our community.
