On Nov. 5, 2011 150 people and their dogs gathered at Winslow Farm in MA and raised over $10,000 for New England animal shelters and rescues. It was the inaugural Goodness Gracious Run for Rescue, 5k and 10k run/walk/wheel events for people with their dogs.
Nearly everyone went home with a prize - including the fastest racers, biggest fundraisers, funniest costumes, raffle winners, and longest commuters. We had people participate from VT, ME, NH, MA, RI, CT, NY and even Chicago!
Everyone enjoyed the sunshine, the warmth of friends, the joy of animals (including over 236 in Winslow's "petting farm"), prizes, refreshments, and supporting a fantastic cause. We can't wait to do it again! run4rescue.org.
