Presented by Bubbly Paws and Pampered Pooch Playground, this event is being produced and managed by UpTempo Race Management with the proceeds benefiting Home for Life®. Kris and Mark Kuhn, the owners of UpTempo Race Management, have been Home for Life® animal sponsors for seven years, and now that they own their own race management business, they're looking to create a unique, pet-friendly event that supports the cause.
Whether or not you plan to run/walk the event, please consider setting up an individual fundraising page. Raise just $325 and you will not only be eligible to win a prize but you will become a Home for Life® animal sponsor for the next year!
