SUNDAY MAY 21, 2017 was our biggest event with more than 100 participants. That day would not have been possible without the diverse group of runners and walkers, 4-legged friends, moms and dads with strollers, children, teenagers, retired citizens, military personnel, athletes and non-athletes, ARF volunteers and their families, the City of Beacon and the Police Department. 

​

"Today is about the animals, not who came in first or received which awards. Today we are here because we support them!”

 

“My family and I had a great time at your event today. We came up from Bedford and appreciated the opportunity to have been allowed to bring our dog on the run with us. He loved it too.We feel really good about the proceeds going towards the shelter. It was our first time to Beacon and we enjoyed brunch at the Beacon Falls Cafe, bought some art glass at Hudson Beach and donuts from Glazed Over to bring home.Thanks to you and your staff and volunteers for a great event!  See you next year!”

​

"I wish this was more than once a year. I can't wait for next year!”

 

“It was a great time”
