Darke County Friends of the Shelter
Sixth
Annual Scentral Park 5K
GREENVILLE - The 6th annual Scentral Park 5K for the Dog Park will be
held Saturday, April 20, 2019, at the Darke County Fairgrounds
beginning at 9 a.m. This race is part of the Darke County
Wellness Challenge and encourages participants to run or walk with
their dogs. The dogs must be on a leash, in a stroller/wagon or be
carried. The entire event will be within the fairgrounds. Prior to the
5K there will be a free Kid’s Fun Run at 8:30.
Although many seasoned runners compete in this event the Scentral Park
5K is a great time for families, families with pets, or anyone who just
wants to have fun and support Scentral Park. The entry fee for kids 14
and under is only $5 without a shirt. We also offer this price to
seniors who are 65 and older. The complete course is stroller
friendly.
All regular age group awards will be given with special awards being
given to the Top 3 dogs that finish with a Male and Top 3 dogs that
finish with a Female.
The Friends of the Shelter opened Scentral Park, Darke County’s only
dog park, in March of 2013 having raised the necessary funds from
donations, grants and fundraisers. No taxpayer money was used. Scentral
Park is maintained and improved through the monies raised by this 5K
race.
Marco’s Pizza will again be providing free pizza and bread sticks at
the finish line. Boston Stoker will have free coffee and hot
chocolate before and after the 5K. Special treats will be available for
the dogs.
The Friends of the Shelter want to thank their Presenting Sponsor
Tribute Pet Memorial Services as well as all the other sponsors and
donors who have already committed their support to this 5K (in
alphabetical order): Barry Family Dentistry, Gordon & DeSantis
Orthodontics, Keven Flory Landscaping, Kline Timber, Max Hole, Sadie
Grace Boutique, Schultz Motors, Turbo Dean, Wayne Healthcare, Western
Ohio Podiatric Medical Center and Zechar Bailey Funeral Home
