Race for the Rescues is a charity 5K organized by SNIPSA that begins at the Alamo Heights Swimming Pool in San Antonio. The event is pet friendly and allows individual runners and walkers, participants with dogs, and team entries. There is also a virtual option to run a 5K on a course of the participant's choice and submit a time; awards require completion of the course in person at the Alamo Heights Swimming Pool.
The course is described as semi-challenging and runs around the Alamo Heights area. Pre-registration is available online at snipsa.org and runsignup.com. Packet pick-up is scheduled the day before the event at the SNIPSA office, 4216 McCullough Ave., San Antonio, TX 78212.
