This fundraiser will make a difference for our local veterans with service dogs supported by Vets To Vets United, Inc., a local non-profit 501(C)3 organization. We pair and train service dogs with local disabled veterans suffering from PTS, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) or other physical or mental service connected issues. After a 2 yr. training program, these service dogs significantly improve their life by providing companionship and help them with their mental or physical disability. This also saves the life of a dog facing euthanasia by adopting the animal from a local animal shelter. This annual fund-raiser helps us to fund this challenge.

1st, 2nd and 3rd place prizes for men and women will be awarded at the conclusion of their race. A race award for the oldest and the youngest aged racer to finish the race will also be provided.
