NEW ORLEANS – Registration is now open and all are invited to get ready to make a difference and have a great time at the 9th annual NOLA Dogs Race to the Rescue 5K for Animal Rescue on Sunday, Oct. 11.
This race takes you through the historic grounds of Lake Lawn Metairie Cemetery, hosted by Heaven’s Pets, where every step you take helps save animals in need.
Since the race benefits the furry and four-legged residents of the city, the organizers are calling on all animal lovers to join the cause and be part of the solution to help the pets of New Orleans. While it’s not a requirement, they ask for participants to commit to raising at least $100 AND if you hit $250 or more, your registration is FREE. Whether you join in for the chip-timed race or choose the virtual option, your participation will directly support rescue efforts.
Why should you sign up? Here are the perks:
- Commemorative T-Shirt
- Adorable Finisher Medal
- Goodie Bag
- Post-Race Refreshments
- A scenic run (or walk) through the historic Lake Lawn Metairie Cemetery
- And most importantly, the incredible feeling of knowing you’re helping animals in need!
Plus, you’ll enjoy a second line parade before the race with a live brass band and a Blessing of the Pets after the race.
First-place male and female finishers will win $100 cash and a trophy. They are also awarding trophies for top fundraising teams, so gather your squad and race for a cause.
SIGN UP NOW – REGISTRATION IS LIMITED TO 1000.
NOTE: Registration fees displayed denote service charges for processing as required by law.
