Carl’s 5K will be unlike any race you’ve ever participated in before, as the course will wind around our beautiful sanctuary grounds—our rescued residents cheering you on as you go! You get a 360 degree tour of the sanctuary as part of our course! After you cross the finish line, you can visit with your favorite residents and stroll. Did we mention Cinnaholic will also be waiting at the finish line for you?!

ALL runners and walkers are welcome! Trust us: This event is enjoyed by runners, walkers and strollers alike! We’re also offering a self-timed virtual option for those who cannot join us in person! Registration (both in-person and virtual) includes an exclusive t-shirt, bib, and medal! 

NEW this year:  Following the race, there will be a Fall Fest complete with vendors to purchase goodies from, cider, and pumpkin decorating fun! So stick around after the race, or skip the race all together and just join us for the festival! Bring your friends, family, and kiddos! All are welcome.
