The "Fido and Friends" run is being held this Sunday at Rockwood Park and 100% of the registration fees go towards the Animal Rescue League. Organizer Cindy Loiser tells CHSJ news the event was started three years ago in memory of a friend who was killed while running and was passionate about the Animal Rescue League. Loiser says in the first year it was a bunch of friends who got together, and since then it's grown. She wants to make it a yearly event so people can support a cause and honor those who've had accident and injuries during a run.
Loiser says the run isn't a race, but a way to enjoy running or walking with your dog and friends while raising money. There's a 1, 5 and 10 kilometre course to choose from and kids are also welcome.
