Activities
The beautiful Wilson Farm Park is the backdrop for TLC’s fifth annual race event benefiting the dogs we rescue.
5K Race: Run or walk the 3.1-mile course through the park grounds. There will be water stations along the way for people and dogs. This timed activity will have a race clock at the finish for instant results. The race begins at 9 am.
Prizes will be awarded to the top 3 male, top 3 female, and top 3 dog finishers. Top 3 male and female finishers for each age bracket (14 and under, 15-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, and 60+) will also be presented with awards.
1-Mile Fun Walk: This activity is designed for those who want a more leisurely and shorter distance through the lovely grounds. Great for families and lower energy dogs. The Fun Walk will start shortly after the 5K starts.

Create a team & do some fundraising
This year, we have some extra features! You can create or join a team and even get others to sponsor your participation. Check the fundraising options during registration to create your fundraising page. Raise at least $300 prior to the event & your registration will be free! TLC is an IRS designated 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, so donations made to sponsor you are tax-deductible as allowed by law.
This is a dog & family-friendly event
People of all ages are welcome to participate! Wilson Farm Park has great,
stroller-friendly, trails that will provide a scenic route good for runners & walkers alike. The amenities also include all abilities playgrounds and we'll have fun stuff for the whole family, in addition to the race.
It is a best practice to keep yourself hydrated. Some people may need to consult with a healthcare provider before participating. Dogs should be kept hydrated as well.
Dogs must be well behaved, vaccinated, and kept on a leash at all times.
Please note: use of retractable leashes is not allowed. Please make sure you clean up any waste.
Mutts For Miles
TLC's adorable adoptables will be at the event and, for $20, one of our available dogs can accompany you on your 1-mile walk. You can meet the dogs to see who's available to rent at the event. Please note that an adult (18+ years of age) must be responsible for the dog at all times.
race day check-in starts at 8am; the race starts at 9am
