K9s United 9k
The K9s United 9k for K9s is an annual running event held at the Ring Power Corporate Headquarters in St Augustine, Florida. The event provides multiple distance options for participants, including chip-timed races and untimed fun runs. The available distances include:
- 9 km: A chip-timed competitive run.
- 5 km: A chip-timed run or walk.
- 1 Mile: An untimed fun run.
- Virtual Options: Virtual versions of the 9 km, 5 km, and 1 Mile distances for off-site participation.
The event features on-site activities intended for families, such as children's arts and crafts and a specialized photo booth. A demonstration involving law enforcement K9 units is also part of the program. Due to the presence of active police K9 units, only service dogs are permitted on the property during the event.
All proceeds from the event go toward K9s United, an organization that provides equipment, training, and memorial services for law enforcement K9 officers. Recognition awards are presented to the top runners in the timed race categories. Registration is open to the public, and participants who reach specific fundraising goals through the event's portal have their registration fees waived.
