About the Event

Grab your crew and lace up for Rescue One’s 12th Annual Fast and the Furriest! Join us for a fun morning walk or run through the beautiful Rountree neighborhood. We will be back at the same location as last year—1409 E Cherry Street, the field next to Sleepy Opossum Cafe—following our tried-and-true route. This family-friendly event welcomes animal lovers and athletes of all ages and experience levels. Well-socialized, leashed pups are encouraged (no retractable leashes). Choose from a 1-mile, 5K, or virtual race option.

Every step supports Rescue One and helps save lives!

This event will take place rain or shine unless severe weather creates unsafe conditions for participants or volunteers. In the event of severe weather, we will look at rescheduling the event for later in the year.
