Poplar Spring Animal Sanctuary hosted its 6^th 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.
