0912 Paws for a Cause
Dogs and their owners run in last year’s Paws for a Cause at Veterans Park.
The Animal League of Birmingham is hosting its 5th Annual Paws for the Cause Dog-Friendly 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run. The event, scheduled for Sept. 21 at Veterans Park, benefits the Shelby County Humane Society. Last year’s race sent numerous pets to forever homes up the east coast.
The race promises a fun-filled morning for families and their four-legged friends, as food and goods vendors will be set up at the park.
Registration fees for the 5K Run/Walk are $30 and $25 for the 1 Mile Fun Run/Pet Walk. Participants can enter both for $35. Add $5 for late registration. Packet pickup will be Friday, September 20 at the Track Shak on U.S. 280 from 11 a.m.-6 p.m. or on the morning of the race. Late registration opens at 7 a.m. on Sept. 21.
Register online via active.com by Sept. 20. For more information, visit theanimalleagueofbirmingham.com.
