Puppies and Patriots

Join us to celebrate and provide financial support to Service Dogs for Veterans. This organization rescues shelters dogs and trains them in partnership with a military veteran in need. 100% of proceeds go directly to Service Dogs for Veterans sd4v.org 

This is an event for everyone, including Dogs! Completing the walk earns your four-legged friend (if you choose to bring your pup) a prize of their own. The 5k race, on the campus of Clemson University will have awards for overall and age group winners. Additionally, top individuals will receive special recognition at the post-race awards.  The 5k kicks the event off at 8:15 am and the full schedule for Puppies and Patriots is detailed below.

Veterans and their service dogs will be in attendance as special guests of honor. Please register for the races, attend in person to support the charities or sponsor a runner to make this event a day to remember!

Note: To be considered for chip timing in the run, registration must take place before Friday, March 8 at 8am. To guarantee correct shirt size, registration must take place by Saturday, March 2nd.
