In its debut last year, over 120 runners and walkers registered for this event held at beautiful, E. Carroll Joyner Park in Wake Forest.

The race is managed by Purr Partners Feline Rescue, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to helping homeless cats find permanent, loving homes. 100% of the proceeds will benefit the cats and kittens that come into our care with needed veterinary visits – including emergency care, spaying or neutering, vaccines and medicines. It also helps provide food, litter, beds, toys — anything and everything that they need until they are adopted.

Purr Partners rescues cats and kittens from high-kill rural shelters in NC. Those who lives are most in jeopardy and with little hope of survival. We have saved over 2700 lives since 2009 and depend on donations, fundraising events and adoption fees to support our efforts. Won't you help us save more lives?
