About the Event

Dozer’s Run/Walk 5K is an annual event hosted by Summers Charity Fund to provide funding for canine cancer research. Summers Charity Fund is an organization created by Roger and Stacie Summers after the passing of our best four-legged friend, Dozer, to cancer in 2019. With your help we have managed to raise over $100,000 to aid in Canine Cancer Research since 2020. All donations are donated to The University of Pennsylvania, School of Veterinary Medicine!

Penn Vet | Penn Vet Cancer Center

Join us for a morning walk/run and enjoy the fun!

As a reminder, while we love our four-legged babies, they are not able to attend this race due to insurance reasons. The goodie bag will make it up to them, we promise!

About Hockessin

Learn more about the host city, Hockessin.

Hockessin, is a small, rapidly growing town in northern New Castle County, right on the border with Pennsylvania. Centered between two major highways, Route 7, or Limestone Road, and Route 41, Lancaster Pike, Hockessin offers a quiet reprieve for travelers and residents alike. The center of town is based mostly around small businesses; locally owned restaurants, salons, boutiques, and a smattering of other commercial establishments. A laid-back atmosphere, peaceful neighborhoods, and picturesque scenery all make Hockessin an extremely desirable place to live: its population grew by more than a third, to 13,500, between 1990 and 2010.
