About Us
Our Story
K9 Run was born from a deep love for running and dogs. A few years ago, we opened our home to rescue huskies in need. One by one, Loki, Ryder, Akira, and Floki came into our lives. Each had a unique personality, but they all shared something in common: they were struggling with trauma, anxiety, or trust.
What helped them heal? Running. Their improvement was remarkable. The time outdoors helped them relax, build confidence, and improve their mental and physical health.
That’s why we created the K9 Run. We want to inspire dog owners to walk, jog, or run with their pups, and to experience the benefits of an active lifestyle. We also hope to connect athletes who don’t have dogs (yet!) with local rescue organizations. Who knows, your next running buddy might be waiting to be fostered or adopted.
Whether you join us for fitness, fun, or furry friendship, you’re now part of our story too.
Our Mission
To create unforgettable memories that inspire healthy lifestyles for dogs and humans.
Our Environmental Commitment
We believe that caring for animals and caring for the planet go hand in hand. At K9 Run, we are committed to hosting environmentally responsible events and reducing our environmental paw-print. See some of our efforts below:
Most event food is produced and purchased locally. Any surplus food will be donated to local food banks.
We provide biodegradable bags and clearly marked disposal bins for dog waste along the course.
The Finish Area will have well-marked bins for recycling and compost.
We’re proud to partner with vendors who share our sustainable values and eco-conscious practices.
Every participant can make a difference, here’s how:
Bring gently used dog clothes, toys, or gear. We’ll collect and donate them to local rescue organizations
Only take what you need, whether it’s food or water.
Bring a reusable water bottle for free refills.
Don’t litter and pick up after your dog ALWAYS! Keep the course beautiful for everyone.
