Unique prizes and ribbons will be awarded to, among others, the overall top three male and female finishers, the first-, second- and third-place finishers in numerous age and gender categories and the first three finishers who race with their dogs. Door prizes and dog prizes will also be included.

The fundraiser supports free outdoor activities and educational programs designed to help people better appreciate, protect and preserve the environment and helps finance the group’s green project grant program.
