Greenville – The 8th annual Scentral Park Dog Park 5K walk/run will be held Saturday, May 7th , 2022 at the Darke County Fairgrounds beginning at 9a.m.
This walk/run is sponsored by the Darke County Friends of the Animal Shelter and is part of the Darke County Wellness Challenge. It allows participants to walk/run with their dogs. The dogs must be on a leash, in a stroller/wagon or be carried. The entire walk/run will be within the fairgrounds.
All regular age group awards will be given as well as awards being given to the Top 3 Male and Top 3 Female runners finishing with a dog. The top male and female will each be awarded $50 as well as the top male and female with a dog.
The Friends of the Animal Shelter opened the Scentral Park Dog Park in March of 2013 having raised the necessary funds from donations, grants and fundraisers. No taxpayer money was used. Scentral Park Dog Park is maintained and improved by volunteers through the monies raised from this 5K walk/run.
