5K Dash - Individual Age group/open
About the event
To get to the finish line you can run, walk, jog… or Dash for a Shelter Dog!
One Love is thrilled to bring you our 6th annual 5K and 1-Mile Run/Walk, taking place on February 13, 2027 at Freestone Park in Gilbert.
This event brings our community together to raise critical funds for some of the most vulnerable dogs in Maricopa County. Every step you take helps us give them the second chance they deserve.
So if your 2027 goal is giving back… consider this your sign. Get registered and meet us at the starting line!
One Love is a nonprofit organization that delivers innovative, hands-on programs to save at-risk shelter dogs and provide critical services to the community.
Funds raised from this event support the following life-saving programs:
Shelter Dog Project
Founded in 2015, this program focuses on removing barriers to adoption for at-risk shelter dogs through training, medical care, marketing, and post-adoption support.
We offer free weekly PetSmart training classes for shelter and foster dogs to help them build confidence and prepare for life in a home.
Free Spay/Neuter Clinics
We offer free spay/neuter and vaccination clinics for pit bull, shepherd, and husky mixes—the breeds most at risk in our local shelters. These clinics help reduce shelter intake and support families who need a little extra help.
Prison Program
Through our 11-week in-prison dog training program, incarcerated individuals are paired with shelter dogs for a structured, rehabilitative experience. The program promotes personal growth for participants and prepares dogs for successful adoption.
