2nd Annual Fort Bend Cares Doggone Fun Run

The Fort Bend Cares Doggone Fun Run includes a competitive chip timed 5K Run (without dogs) and a 5K Run and a 1 mile Fun Run/Walk (with or without dogs), so there is something for everyone and every dog! There will be medals for age group winners of the competitive 5K Run along with prizes for winners of the “canine costume competition”. Come early and stay late to peruse vendor booths, enjoy DJ music, learn tips from a local dog trainer, and more. The event raises funds to support nonprofit organizations that serve disadvantaged children and youth in Fort Bend County. This year, to show support of our four-legged friends as well, Fort Bend Cares will donate a small portion of proceeds from this event to the Sugar Land Animal Services shelter. Take advantage of early registration through March 13 for $25 per person or $75 for a family of three or more. Each registrant will receive a t-shirt and a bandana for their favorite dog. On race day, t-shirts and bandanas are only available while supplies last. Dog owners must ensure canine participants are on a non-retractable leash and must show proof of current rabies vaccination. Mark your calendars for 8:00am on Saturday, April 11, 2015 and join Rain for some Doggone Fun at Memorial Park in Sugar Land!
