GUARDIANS OF THE NIGHT K9 5K RACE - July 30th Columbia, SC
Excited to be heading to Columbia South Carolina next month for the Guardians of the Night K9 5K on July 30th. Not to run, of course, but to watch the hundreds of supporters who are running to support our friends, the Richland County Sheriff's Department K9 teams! K9 Fargo, one of our favorite and earlier K9 heroes was from Richland County Sheriff's Department. This 5K race was created after Fargo was lost in the line of duty in December of 2011.
The Guardians of the Night K9 5K Race/Run is a true night event that offers a fun, flat, fast-paced race -- giving runners the opportunity to run alongside Richland County Sheriff's Department K-9 Deputies and their K-9 partners. This is a certified race course and chip timing will be used for scoring. Awards will follow along with the opportunity to meet and greet with the K-9's and Deputies.
If you are in the area and love 5K's and track your times - this is an awesome event to be a part of!
