About the Race

Poplar Spring Animal Sanctuary will be holding its 15th Annual 5K Run for the Animals and 1-Mile Fun Walk on Sunday, May 20th. All funds raised will go towards the life saving work Poplar Spring does every day. The funds will care and feed the farm animals that live at Poplar Spring, as well as educate the public about compassion towards all animals.


Online registration will close at 8:00 p.m. on Thursday, May 17th. You will still be able to register at Packet Pick-up, or on race day starting at 7:00 a.m.


Poplar Spring was given $8,000 in matching donations. So all donations will be doubled! Please share this page with your family and friends. Your involvement is critical to Poplar Spring’s success. Thank you for all your help.

The run will be held at beautiful Wheaton Regional Park, with part of the course taking the runners through Brookside Gardens. The majority of the run and walk is on paved trails, with the remainder of the course on hard packed trails. The run takes you through the scenic park, with most of the course being in the shade. The run begins at 8:30 a.m. The Fun Walk begins at 8:40 a.m. Although dogs cannot participate in the run, they are more than welcome to come out and join the 1 mile walk.
