Miles For Mutts Presented by To Love a Canine Rescue

Welcome to our 11th Annual Miles for Mutts 5k Race & 1 Mile Fun Walk Presented by To Love a Canine Rescue!

Our Annual Miles for Mutts 5k Run & 1 Mile Walk fundraiser is back! This event has been one of our biggest & most fun fundraisers. The proceeds from this event will benefit TLC Rescue’s life-saving mission to give dogs in need a better tomorrow.  

We'll have race t-shirts, prizes for top individual fundraisers, medals for the fastest runners, a costume contest, and more!

Whether you choose to run, walk or you're just in it for the T-Shirt, you'll be saving lives! Your race fee* will directly impact dogs in need from feeding a foster dog for a week, covering the cost of a vaccination for a puppy, offering a week of Heartworm treatment to a dog who may not be rescued otherwise, or supplying a pregnant momma dog with the supplies she needs to whelp a brand new litter of puppies.
