Just a few days before Valentine’s Day, we’ll be celebrating all things love! Join us for a fun festival that features adorable adoptable animals and unexpected delights. This year we have added a Fun Run/Walk. Start the day by getting your heart pumping…for a good cause. Proceeds support Joybound’s life-changing programs for shelter animals and the people who love them. This event is family friendly. We can’t wait to see you there!
Fun Run/Walk details: Starting at 9am
Cost: Race entries are $25 for adults and $15 for kids (under 18 years old)
For the first time ever, we’re hosting “Tails on the Trail,” a pre-festival Fun Run & Walk. We will have two routes available. Participants can complete a 1-mile easy-paced walk or a 3.1 mile/5k run. Pets are welcome to join walkers or runners on either route but must leashed or harnessed, ensuring that the guardian is in full control at all times. Plus, every very entry comes with a collectable Unleash the LOVE: Fun Run & Walk shirt!
Festival & Adopt-a-thon details: 11:00am-3:00pm
Cost: FREE RSVP
The Festival & Adopt-a-thon is FREE to attend. RSVP to join either or both. Register for the Fun Run/Walk by selecting your entry ticket. The Fun Run/Walk is $25 for adults and $15 for youth to participate.
