From the Organizer
Retrieving on the Ridge is our inaugural 5K fundraiser presented by Tincup Whiskey, benefitting Retrieving Independence.
We invite you to lace up, hit the course, and support life-changing working dogs in training. This inaugural 5K brings together competitive runners, families, dog lovers, and individuals of all abilities for a meaningful and memorable day. Whether you run, walk, or roll, our course is designed to be welcoming and accessible and dog-friendly for those who want to bring their pup along.
Be part of a community that believes in second chances, strong partnerships, and the power of the human-animal bond. Join us on the Ridge, celebrate the miles, and meet some incredible pups along the way.
General Admission is $25, and premium registration (which includes timing your race) is $35. All registrations come with a tshirt!
