Give a Dog a Job 5k run/walk

The 6th annual Give a Dog a Job 5k fundraising event will be held Saturday, Sept. 14, 2024,  at Main Line Brewery in Richmond VA.    We are excited to be back at Main Line for a fourth year! 

When you register for our 5K run/walk race, you’re signing up for much more than just a spirited event.  You will be running and walking with your furry friends to support a great cause.  You’ll be joining the Old Dominion Volunteer Chapter puppy raisers and service dog teams to put more highly trained service dogs into the hands of adults, children, and veterans who need them!  100% of race proceeds go directly to Canine Companions. 

Canine Companions provides service dogs at no charge to those living with disabilities! Come on out and help us GIVE A DOG A JOB! 

This is a family and pet-friendly event and we encourage human and pet costumes to make the morning fun! There will be awards, door prizes, music and vendors!

The Doggie Dash is for our smaller participants. Children 4-8 years of age will have the opportunity to participate in a 40-yard dash event just for them!  Participation is free for this event, each child will receive a finish line prize, and one parent is permitted to run with the child. MUST BE REGISTERED TO PARTICIPATE

The in-person event, 5K participants at Main Line Brewery will go off at 9:00 am and chip timing will be offered.

Awards will be given to the overall fastest man and woman along with the top age group males and females. Please share our event with friends and family! We appreciate the referrals that will help change the life of someone living with a disability! 

We hope you join us at Main Line Brewery, for the 5th annual 5K which offers a fun morning of exercise for families and pets!
