From the Organizer
The 4-mile run/walk and 1.5-mile dog walk will commence and conclude at The Silver Creek Park Field House, 3001 S. 10th St., Manitowoc, WI, at 9:00 AM, rain or shine. Packet pickup and same-day registration will start at 8:00 AM. The route will traverse city parks, grass and gravel trails, and a serene residential neighborhood offering a stunning vista of Lake Michigan.
Only rabies-vaccinated dogs are permitted for those joining the 1.5-mile dog walk exclusively. All dogs must be on a leash, and owners are responsible for cleaning up after their pets. Dogs should be at ease in large gatherings and comfortable around noise, people, and other dogs. There is no additional fee for dog participation.
This year our goal is to raise funds specifically for our City of Manitowoc K9 program.
