Join us for a fun filled day focused on physical and mental wellness, family, fun and our furry friends!
RexRun for PAWSitivity 2024 opens at 7:00 am to visit with the doggies and get an early peek in the Vendor Marketplace! Our family 5K event kicks off at 7:50am with the singing of our National Anthem. The 5K trail run begins at 8am and is followed at 8:10am with the 5K walk (with your dog!) and the kid's run! After that, you can enjoy a delicious pancake breakfast at the Flippin' Flapjacks food truck! All day long, we will have therapy and patrol K-9 training demonstrations and the ASCO Mounted Patrol will gallop in! Don't miss our colorful dog costume contest (with the winner's basket full of doggy goodies) and our silent and live auction that you don't want to miss!! The Fitness Zone will have face painting, a balloon artist and lots of lawn games for the whole family! Make sure you stroll through the Vendor Marketplace to pick up giveaways throughout the event and talk to the experts about your furry friends! Dogs are welcome inside of the event area as long as they are on their best behavior and on a 6' leash.
The star of our event is K-9 Rex, a two-year-old black Labrador therapy dog. He and his fellow K-9's with their handlers go to local schools to primarily offer comfort to students with special needs, many who are in crisis and are dealing with stress, anxiety and depression. 100% of all net profits from RexRun For PAWSitivity 2024 go to the law enforcement K-9's through the 501(c)3 nonprofit, Back The Blue K-9 Force, to purchase K-9's and their protective gear as well as provide funding for their medical needs.
If you're at RexRun For PAWSitivity this year, you can't miss meeting K-9 Rex. His relatives Riley and Zeke and the newest additions to his family, Bear and Otis, will be waiting!
