The 5th annual Give a Dog a Job 5k fundraising event will be held Saturday, Sept. 16, 2023, at Main Line Brewery in Richmond VA. We are excited to be back at Main Line for a third year!
When you register for our 5K run/walk race, you’re signing up for much more than just a spirited event. You will be running and walking with your furry friends to support a great cause. You’ll be joining the Old Dominion Volunteer Chapter puppy raisers and service dog teams to put more highly trained service dogs into the hands of adults, children, and veterans who need them!
100% of race proceeds go directly to Canine Companions.
Canine Companions provides service dogs at no charge to those living with disabilities! Come on out and help us GIVE A DOG A JOB!
This is a family and pet-friendly event and we encourage human and pet costumes to make the morning fun! Prizes will be awarded for best-dressed human/dog.
The Doggie Dash is for our smaller participants. Children 4-8 years of age will have the opportunity to participate in an event just for them! The Doggie Dash is a 40-yard dash and participation is free for this event, each child will receive a prize when they cross the finish line. One parent is permitted to run/walk with a child.
Awards will be given to the overall fastest man and woman along with the top age group males and females. Team Awards are offered for Best Team Costume and the Team which highlights tremendous team passion along the course.
Please share our event with friends and family! Our event helps change the life of someone living with a disability!
We hope you join us at Main Line Brewery, for the 5th annual 5K which offers a fun morning of exercise for families and pets!
