Race Description
The Southeastern Guide Dogs MacDill's Paws for Heroes 5K is set to take place in Tampa, Florida, promising an enjoyable experience for all participants. The event features chip timing on an accurate, though not certified, 5K course, situated in the beautiful Gadsden Park. Both in-person and virtual runners will receive a race shirt and a finisher's medal upon completion.
This year's race, scheduled for April 19, 2025, aims to raise funds for the Paws for Patriots program, which provides guide and service dogs at no cost to veterans in need. With a significant cost to provide these dogs, the event underscores its commitment to honoring veterans and supporting their transition to civilian life. Participants are urged to register by April 6, 2025, to ensure they receive a race shirt.
