The 5K race begins at 10, while the 1.5K walk and fun run is scheduled for 11 a.m. Registration for both events begins at 8:30 a.m. Cost is $30. Registration includes a T-shirt and bandanna while supplies last.
Racers without dogs are welcome. There will be a pet fair featuring rescues, animal resources, a silent auction, refreshments, awards and prizes for runners and walkers.
A silent auction will take place from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Last year 157 dogs, along with 252 runners and walkers, came together and raised over $38,000 in donations. The mission of Pets Come First is placing homeless animals in forever homes and controlling the pet population by spaying and neutering.
