JVS 5K-9 Race
The Judy V Spencer 5K-9 Fun Run/Walk is an athletic event held at the Bay City Community Center in Bay City, Michigan. This unique race is designed to be dog-friendly, allowing participants the choice to complete the course with or without a canine companion. All dogs present on the course must remain leashed at all times.
The event features a single distance for participants:
- 5 km
Although categorized as a fun run and walk, the event is professionally timed. Awards are presented to the top finishers in the overall male and female categories. Packet pickup is organized at the community center prior to the start of the race.
The event is hosted by the Bay Area Women's Center. It serves as a mission-driven initiative to raise awareness and provide financial support for survivors of violence. Specifically, the proceeds benefit the Judy V Spencer Fund, which covers boarding costs for pets belonging to survivors seeking shelter. Registration fees are set at a fixed rate with an increase applied for those who register closer to the event date.
The course is located at 800 John F. Kennedy Drive, providing a central location for the local community to engage in education and support services while participating in a timed 5 km run or walk. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
