Who We Are: Healthy Kids Running Series is a five (5) week running program in the spring and fall for kids Pre-K through 8th grade. Each HKRS Series takes place once a week and offers age-appropriate running events including the 50 & 75 yard dashes, the 1/4 mile, the 1/2 mile and the 1 mile run. Kids will earn points for each race they complete based on their finish.

Pricing: The registration fee covers the entire five (5) weeks of the Series which includes race bibs for each week, a runner shirt, a finisher medal and any sponsor giveaways. Registration is non-refundable and non-transferable. Online Early Bird registration increases three weeks prior to the first race event.

High School: We also welcome our high school runners! Our high school students will be running a 2 mile race.

Challenger: This Series offers a Challenger Division which is an adaptive 75 yard race for children with disabilities and/or special needs. This allows for parents, siblings, and friends to be on the course with runners to provide support as well as bringing their own supportive devices such as crutches, braces, wheelchairs, etc. to be used by runners.

Welcome to the Pet Rescue Run!! This 5k is for animal lovers and 5k enthusiast. Please join us at the beautiful Columbus County Park in Columbus Michigan. This is an officially timed trail run/walk that includes 100% grass and dirt trails. You will encounter rocks, roots, an elevation incline/decline of approximately 55 feet and possible muddy conditions. This is a rain or shine event.

Teams

You can participate as an individual or a team. Why join a team? Make an impact!! Friendly competition, race against other teams to be the top fundraiser for bragging rights! Top fundraising team captain will receive a commemorative mug. Every dollar raised goes to animal rescues in Michigan.

Our Purpose

The Pet Rescue Run has been initiated as a way to honor the legacy of our loved one, JoAnne Aebi. JoAnne had an unwavering passion for animals and a deep desire to make a positive impact on their well-being. This annual fundraiser supports J & J Furry Friend Foundation, a 501c(3) and will assist in carrying out her unfinished work. The mission of this organization is to help Michigan based animal rescues by way of providing much needed supplies and funds. Proceeds from this event will go directly toward this cause. In the past two years we've raised over $10,000 that has assisted numerous different local rescues.

Prizes

Enter to win a $50 gift card and other fun prizes by bringing a bag of pet food, dog treats, dog toys, bleach, paper towels, or pet bed. The more items you bring the more chances you have to win.

After the race, please join us for award prize announcements for 1st & 2nd male and female finishers as well as age category prizes for the 5K. All Finishers will receive a medal after the race. Post race water and snack provided by Marsack and Marshall Real Estate Team. Cupcakes provided by family to celebrate what would have been JoAnne's 54th birthday.
