  The crew at Wolf Pack Adventures is excited to bring you this unique event along Ohio's largest inland beach. Run as many 5K loops as you can in 6 hours at Alum Creek State Park!

  Complete at least four loops to officially complete the race. You do not need to run for 6 hours. You can run for as long as it takes you to run four loops. Your official race time will be recorded as the time you complete your fourth loop. Results will be recorded as the total number of loops each participant runs in 6 hours. Whoever runs the most loops in 6 hours is the 6 Hours of Power champion.

  In contrast to the surrounding farmlands, Alum Creek State Park offers a diverse array of natural features. Cliffs of Ohio shale are notable in many areas, exposed as Alum Creek and other streams cut through underlying bedrock. Check out all the park has to offer!

  Come join us on June 13th for the Run Out Duchenne 5K at the beautiful Highbanks Metro Park in Lewis Center! Our mission is to end Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, a fatal genetic disorder that slowly robs our children and loved ones of their muscle strength. Those with Duchenne are truly in a race against time as their muscles deteriorate further each day.

  Participating in our event, whether it be the 5K, a donation, or both, will help us accomplish that mission.

  Friends of the Shelter is an all-volunteer, 501c3 non-profit organization established to fund the medical care of the sick and injured dogs at the Franklin County Dog Shelter and Adoption Center.

  The Franklin County Dog Shelter and Adoption Center is funded by the county budget and from funds generated through fees, such as dog licenses. However, these sources of funding are not sufficient to provide medical care for the Shelter dogs that need more than basic services.

  The Friends of the Shelter was formed in 2003 to save these sick or injured—but otherwise adoptable—dogs so they can be adopted into loving, forever families.

  Friends of the Shelter is an all-volunteer group of local individuals who donate their time to the day-to-day operations of the organization. Additionally, the volunteers plan and coordinate fundraising events, marketing and public relations projects and provide accounting and legal guidance. As an all-volunteer group, the organization is able to keep overhead very low, allowing over 95% of donations to help our shelter dogs in need.
