Hound Dog Hustle 5K
Runners and walkers are invited to the 3rd Annual Hound Dog Hustle, a dog-friendly 5K run/walk on October 23, 2016. 5K Start is 9:00am. We encourage you to bring the whole family out for this event, including the dog! This event benefits the Carolina Basset Hound Rescue, a nonprofit organization that saves homeless hounds from high kill shelters in the Carolinas, rehabilitates them through foster care, and finds them loving forever homes. You can run or walk a 5K and help save homeless hounds all at once…..not bad for a Sunday morning!
The Hound Dog Hustle begins and ends near Sedgefield Park in Charlotte’s South End. The run/walk 
winds through the Sedgefield neighborhood between Park Road and South Boulevard. This is such a great community and we’re anticipating cheering spectators along the way. Come hang out with neighbors, family, and friends to help an admirable and adorable cause.
This IS a timed race and is open to ALL levels. Runners will line up first, then runners with dogs, then walkers. Strollers and wagons are welcome as long as they start with the walkers.
