Pet Rescue Run/Walk 5K - MI

Welcome to the Pet Rescue Run!!  This 5k is for animal lovers and 5k enthusiast.  Please join us at the beautiful Columbus County Park in Columbus Michigan.  This is a trail run/walk that includes 100% grass and dirt trails.  You will encounter rocks, roots, an elevation incline/decline of approximately 70 feet and possible muddy conditions.  This is a rain or shine event.  

The Pet Rescue Run has been initiated as a way to honor the legacy of our loved one JoAnne Aebi.  JoAnne had an unwavering passion for animals and a deep desire to make a positive impact on their well-being.  This annual fundraiser for the newly established J & J Furry Friend Foundation will assist in carrying out her unfinished work.  The mission of this organization is to help Michigan based animal rescues by way of providing much needed supplies and funds.  Proceeds from this event will go toward this cause.

Enter to win a $50 Amazon gift card and other fun prizes by bringing a bag of pet food, dog treats, dog toys, bleach, paper towels, or pet bed.  The more items you bring the more chances you have to win.
