Jack Rome Memorial Walk and Run

Description

The Jack Rome Memorial Walk & Run is in its 3rd year and growing! This 5k, 10k, 1 mile walk, and family fun day is a fundraiser to benefit the animals that come into the Thomas J O'Connor Animal Control and Adoption Center. 

The Jack Rome Memorial 5K and walk is an event the whole family can participate in... even the pups! In fact, we encourage all dogs to bring their families! Stick around after the race when the festivities begin! Music, vendors, raffles, food trucks, goodie bags for all participants, and more!

Well-behaved pups who attend should be on a leash at all times. No flexi-leads.

We are excited to have Fast Track Timing as our new timing organization. All races will be timed accurately, and each race will be the correct distance.
