Poplar Spring Animal Sanctuary hosted its 6th annual
"Run for the Animals!" The 5K run and 1 mile fun walk
was a fundraiser dedicated to supporting the life saving work Poplar
Spring does everyday. 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 was had by all. The race was held at
Wheaton Regional Park in Wheaton, Maryland. Although dogs can not
participate in the run, they were more than welcome to come out and
join the 1 mile walk.
If you would like you can still sponsor a race participant by going to http://poplarspring.kintera.org.
Back by popular demand! The Sergeant's
Program was there to lead our runner’s and walkers
in a pre-race warm-up!
Poplar Spring worked hard to make the race as "green"
as possible. Click here to find out how
Poplar is working to help the environment.
We collected used athletic shoes, as well as any other type of shoe, at the race site to be recycled
by Nike and/or sent to Africa for distribution.
Poplar Spring strongly encouraged carpooling to the race. For your
convenience, we have set up a carpooling
website.
