Peace Ridge Sanctuary invites you to our 3rd Annual 5k Run for the Animals & 1 Mile Fun Walk at our Northeast Equine Sanctuary. The purpose of this event is to support the lifesaving work Peace Ridge does every day.

This is one of the very few fundraising events that Peace Ridge will host this year. The funds that are raised are vital in continuing to help feed and provide quality care as well as medical care for all our rescued animals. The funds will also aid us in rescuing more animals in need. The majority of the animals at the sanctuary have come from situations of extreme cruelty and have taught us what it means to endure and to be forgiving. We are tremendously grateful for your participation, and of any fundraising you are motivated to do.

The race is a 5k trail run (3.1 miles) & 1-mile trail walk open to all levels of physical fitness. Participants will be running or walking in the heart of nature along the perimeter of each enclosure, enjoying the company of the animals while they go about living their peaceful lives.

Activities:

This is a family friendly event for all ages! It’s a great day to enjoy the company of fellow animal lovers & plant eaters.

There will be a FREE delicious vegan BBQ courtesy of one of our top sponsors Veggie Life, a PRS 5K selfie-frame for lots of pictures, several tables with goodies of their own from our additional lovely sponsors (a list that will be updated weekly). You can even joy a guided outdoor yoga and stretching practice before the event!

And for the kiddos especially - face painting, a nature scavenger hunt, and corn hole!
