The K9-5K is a dog-friendly charity run that aims to raise funds and donated items for the Richmond Animal League, ultimately supporting animal welfare and adoptions. Richmond Animal League (RAL) has been committed to saving the lives of animals and finding loving homes for pets for over 45 years. Since 1979, we’ve worked with area shelters to provide temporary housing, medical treatment, vaccinations, spay/neuter, and loving care to tens of thousands of pets who were then adopted into new homes.

I'm Leah Buckley, a senior in the Leadership Center at James River High School. Since one of my greatest joys is spending time with dogs, whether training them indoors or going through agility courses together, I immediately gravitated towards this idea during the brainstorming process. I hope this 2025 event will be a fun experience and leave a lasting impact on the Richmond community.
