Run for Their Lives 5k

This year we’ll be in person AND offering virtual!

We are also featuring a theme this year of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” and are encouraging you to participate in memory of a four-legged friend who has crossed over the rainbow bridge. Pets are SO important in our lives and if you’ve loved one, you know how terribly hard it is to lose one. A rainbow will be waiting for you at the finish line and you can customize your race bib to tell us who you are walking or running in memory of. Also new this year- each registration bag will have a raffle ticket for one of three pet-related prizes! Help us make this year the most special year yet all while supporting the homeless animals of Marathon County.

In person AND virtual 5K- participate with or without your dog!

Participants will either join us on site at Immanuel Baptist Church in Rib Mountain OR chart out their own neighborhood 5k route, and use their preferred timing method on race day.

Click here to register!

We hope you enjoy a few photos from last year’s participants!

A special thanks to our wonderful sponsors!
