The 9th Annual Fast & Furriest 5K race and 1M walk to benefit Operation Paws for Homes - an all-breed 501c3 dog rescue - is the rescue's 2nd biggest annual fundraiser focused on raising funds toward the medical needs of our dogs.

In 2023, Operation Paws for Homes incurred over $125,000 in medical costs. This event aims to replenish a piece of those funds. We encourage families, runners, walkers, supporters and anyone interested in helping this organization while enjoying a fun event. Along with a silent auction and raffles, vendors will be greeting you as they, too, support OPH. As always, we welcome your leashed dogs to run or walk the course, too!

Like last year, this year's event is both live and virtual! So tell all your friends and family - wherever they are located - they, too, can participate in this event. Let's make it coast to coast! We are excited to include virtual options again and we hope you are just as excited to join us !

Visit the 'Donate and Dash' tables where you will find numerous items. Surely there will be something there for everyone! We are excited to offer "Let's Roam" scavenger packages again. These were a big hit last year - you will want to check them out for sure!

To learn more; visit Scavenger Hunts by Let's Roam.

Interested in the Virginia Gold Cup races?! Donate & Dash has a certificate worth $795 for a day at the races on October 26, 2024, sponsored by the Virginia Gold Cup Association ? Great item for a group 10 of race/horse enthusiasts - or any group looking for a fun day out together! Certificate includes:
1 – Oakwood Box (box includes 12x20 reserved tailgate space)
10 - Members Hill wristbands
3 - Car passes
