From the Organizer
"Gulliver's Run" is a 5k Trail Run/3.5k Walk for dogs and their human companions, although you may participate without a canine pal. The proceeds of "Gulliver's Run" are donated to an established organization or veterinary practice that is directly involved in research or treatment of canine cancer. The establishment of an informal partnership with such an entity enables "Gulliver's Run" to have closer contact with the process that is our stated goal--fighting canine cancer. "Gulliver's Run" is a 501(c)3 non-profit, public charity whose mission is to carry on the battle against canine cancer. "Gulliver's Run" is named after Gulliver Rue, a Hungarian Vizsla who was a lifetime trail runner until his race was cut short by canine lymphoma. Starting in 2025, the walk is changed to a 3.5k distance and is named Maisy's March. The walk course is slightly different than the run course and is named in honor of Maisy, our Vizsla who was taken by canine cancer in December 2024. "Gulliver's Run" is held annually on the trails at beautiful Gifford Pinchot State Park on the first Sunday in November. It is a family friendly event with great prizes and awards, and many extra features.
