This years recipient is Sequoia Humane Society whose mission is to be a community leader in promoting the humane treatment of all animals, and end pet overpopulation by providing a high standard of care and through programs such as pet adoption, spay and neuter and community education. This race isn't just for two legged racers you can bring your dogs and run with them too!
