Poplar Spring Animal Sanctuary is hosting its 10th annual "Run for the Animals!" May 19th

The 5K run & 1mile fun walk is a fundraiser dedicated to supporting the life-saving work Poplar Spring does every day. The race is at Wheaton Regional Park, in Wheaton, Maryland.

Poplar Spring Animal Sanctuary is hosting its 10th annual "Run for the Animals!" The 5K run and 1 or 1.7 mile walk will be held at Wheaton Regional Park on Sunday, May 19th. From the warm up, running and walking on the scenic trails, the dog and people raffles, the prizes, and the abundance of food, a good time will be had by all. Although dogs cannot participate in the run, they are more than welcome to come out and join the walk. 

The exciting news this year is that it’s a newly revised course! The first two miles are FLAT with a beautiful run through Brookside Gardens! This includes taking out the killer hill early on in the course. 

Be sure to sign up soon. http://poplarspring.kintera.org/
