Join the folks at Hope Animal Rescues for their First Doggie Dash & Dawdle .1K Benefiting Hope Animal Rescues! This tiny race will make a BIG impact on homeless dogs across the Midwest.

This is NOT a one K run. It is a POINT-ONE K run, approximately a city block! The grueling 0.1K Run starts at the Caboose in downtown O'Fallon, IL and ends back at Mandy's Bar at 108 E State Street O'Fallon IL.

This is a race that EVERYONE can finish! Participants can walk, dance, jump, skip, do the bunny hop, electric slide, or roll across the finish line!

Mandy's Bar, located in O'Fallon IL and Club Paws Inc, located in Alton IL, are sponsoring this micro run to go a long way towards helping homeless dogs residing at Hope Animal Rescues.
