From the organizer
Join the Humane Society of Elkhart County (HSEC) at Ox Bow Park in Goshen, IN for a timed trail run/walk in a pleasant natural environment. Runners, walkers, and their dogs will be gathering to enjoy time together, activities, great music, and sharing with others. After the race is over, stay a while for Elkhart County Parks’ Dogapalooza! Enjoy dog-themed vendors and activities, great food trucks, a beer garden, and so much more!
Don’t have a dog to bring to the event? Consider adopting one! Take a look at all of our adoptable pups here!
