The Sanctuary at Haafville is a local non-profit no-kill animal rescue in Breinigsville PA. We are hosting our 1st Annual run/walk event, The Fast and Furriest 5k on June 2, 2024. All funds raised through this event will be used for the daily care of our animals including vetting and medical expenses. To date, we have rescued over 12,000 animals and placed them in loving "furever" homes!. These animals “rescue” the people who adopt them as well. They enrich the lives of the families they join. Our goal is to be able to continue to bring people and animals together.
With a fun course, a custom-designed race T-shirt, and post-race refreshments, we’re sure you’ll be calling this 5k one of your most favorite running events and know all proceeds go right back to supporting the animals.
We invite participants to run or walk the course which will be open to the public but will have traffic control on site. Race fee is $35 through May 5th ($40 after that date and NO race day registration.)
