Hay It's A 5K - Take 2...

• 5K Run / Walk:- Run 3.1 Miles
• Fun Run:- Fun Run

Why howdy there! We here at the York County SPCA are hosting a trail based 5k run/walk plus a kids fun run (12 and under) on May 27, 2017 at 9 am at Codorus State Park and we would be much obliged if y’all come out to support us and have some fun!

The purpose of this 5k is to raise awareness about our equine program and the expenses required to allow it to run so smoothly.

Off site boarding is one of the many expenses, along with vet care and training of our adoptable horses. All of the horses within our care have come from cruelty investigations and were abused/neglected prior to making their way to us.  In the case of these emergencies we need funds for immediate vet care, specialty feeds, blankets, etc that we may not currently have on hand. Our equine program is run by foster farms and volunteers so all funds donated go directly to the horses in our care.

Not only will there be prizes for our top age class runners in the 5K but also for our top fundraisers!  There will be a lot to do including crafts and activities for the kids, SPCA items for sale, ice cream and more.

Online registration is available through May 19 for $20 for the 5K and $15 for the kids fun run (12 and under).  You can still register the day of the event for $25 for the 5K and $20 for the kids fun run (12 and under) if you miss the deadline!  Day of registration and check in for pre-registered participants is from 8:00 am - 8:45 am at the Band Shell Area of Codorus State Park.
