Get ready to lace up your running shoes- and your costumes!- for a hauntingly good time at the Green Lake Area Animal Shelters second annual 5K, a community event dedicated to making a measurable difference in the lives of all the animals in need at the shelter! This Day of the Dead themed run/walk invites participants of all ages and fitness levels (pups included!) to come together for a great cause! Whether you're a seasoned runner or just looking to enjoy a walk with your friends (and pup!), every step you take helps make a difference! So come on down and celebrate in the memory of all our lost paws!
