Run for Rover 5K

The City of Carrollton hosts Run for Rover, the furriest 5K benefiting our four-legged friends, on Saturday, February 29 at 8:30am. Sign up your pup for a race supporting the Carrollton Animal Services & Adoption Center. The race will start at McInnish Dog Park (2241 Sandy Lake Road) and will route through the adjacent sports complex for a full 5K. A shorter 1-mile fun run/walk route will be offered to smaller or older dogs, or dogs who are still working off some holiday weight.

Don’t have a dog? You can still participate. Or even better, swing by the Adoption Center where your new best friend is waiting for you. Preregister by Monday, February 24 to receive the $35 rate for the 5K or for the 1-mile fun run/walk. Preregistration guarantees a race T-shirt, race bag, and timing chip for the 5K. The price increases to $45 on race day. Packet pick-up will be Friday, February 28 from 8am–8pm at Rosemeade Recreation Center (1330 E. Rosemeade Parkway).

Race day registration and warm-up: 7:30–8:15am
5K Run: 8:30am
Fun Run/Walk: 8:35am
Awards Ceremony: 9:30am
