0

The Humane Society for Hamilton County’s annual Woofstock 5K walk and run is set for Aug. 10 at Four Day Ray Brewing, 11671 Lantern Rd., Fishers, with the pet-friendly race starting at 8 a.m., rain or shine.

The fundraising event supports the shelter’s Survivor Program, according to the HSHC website.

“Animal welfare is difficult and heart-wrenching. Every day we see some of the worst medical cases in Hamilton County and the state,” stated Lily Darling, HSHC community engagement manager. “As an open-admission, truly no-kill shelter, our Survivor Program and the support of our community allows us to provide second chances to animals who otherwise wouldn’t have them.”

The race is a timed course that participants can run, jog or walk with the entire family, including leashed and/or in-stroller dogs. Top youth, individual, corporate and team fundraisers will be awarded different prizes as well as overall 5K winners and age-group winners.

The first 1,000 participants who register before the rage will receive finisher medals, shirts and swag bags. A virtual race option also is available. Any participant who registers to fundraise for the HSHC will have race fees waived if they raise at least $55.

Race participants also receive a free drink ticket to redeem at Four Day Ray on the day of the event. The fundraiser will include vendor booths and information about the Humane Society for Hamilton County.
