Beat the Crowds: Early Packet Pick-Up!
Skip the registration lines on walk morning by grabbing your gear early! Stop by any of our early pick-up to collect your official walker t-shirt, fundraising incentives, and check-in materials so you can head straight to the fun on event day:
Can’t make it in advance? No problem! You can check in and pick up your packet on event morning starting at 9 a.m. at the registration tent!
Your Impact Matters!
Last year, over 400 participants raised an incredible $101,000! Your registration fees and donations are the heartbeat of our mission, allowing the SPCA to provide:
- High-Quality Veterinary Care: Essential medical services for thousands of animals.
- Wildlife Rehabilitation: Helping our local wild neighbors get back on their feet.
- Adoption and Outreach: Connecting pets with loving homes and supporting our community of pet owners.
Let’s make 2026 our most impactful year yet! Your generosity ensures we can be there for the animals and people who need us most.
