This 22 mile challenge will help dogs in need

Share:

Our rescue is hosting a virtual run/walk/bike event to raise life saving funds for dogs in need. We have created this family friendly race in order to give people across the nation a chance to come together for a great cause while staying apart.

We hope that you will join us in raising $5,000 for our homeless dogs. Every ticket sold will directly help our rescue.
Each participant is challenged to complete 22 miles in 3 weeks (June5th-June27th) as a way of celebrating 22 years in operation!
You may participate in a number of ways! Walking your dog, running on your treadmill, hiking on trails, strolling around a park, biking forest roads, etc. If you want to walk or run a mile a day or really challenge yourself to complete all 22 miles in a weekend, that's entirely up to you. This is a kind and inclusive event, people and dogs of all walks (hah, get it?) of life are welcome. We would love to see pictures you take during your challenge, tag us on Facebook or Instagram or send us an email. You can even make t shirts! We want this to be a fun way to celebrate the dogs we love! We are really missing our annual in person events.

Questions, photos, and requests can be sent to abby@highsierraanimalrescue.org; (530) 616-1565

Tracking of miles: You are welcome to track your miles whichever way is easiest for you. Your phone likely has a step tracker in it or you can download an app like MapMyRun. You can use a smart watch, a fitbit, a treadmill, a trail head map, or a track.
