Every registration fee and donation directly supports the Lumpkin County Animal Shelter, saving the lives of homeless, abused and abandoned animals in our community.

  • The chance to win a dog/cat lovers gift basket in our raffle
  • Coffee and pastries from Blue42 Market
  • A selection of offerings for your bestie from Dahlonega-based Lolo's Farm & Pet store
  • The chance to meet your new bestie at our on-site adoption event!

When: Saturday, November 15, 9 am (arrive for race registration at 8:30 am)
