RescueMe 5K : Belmont
The RescueMe 5K is a community fundraising event in Belmont, NC, presented by the American Pit Bull Foundation. The event is the seventh edition and uses a previously established route that will be used again. It benefits the foundation and Operation Sidekick and supports four community programs: Humane Education, Advocacy, Shelter to Service, and Outreach.
The event is held at Primal Brewing in Belmont and features activities for people and dogs. Registered participants receive an official race T shirt and a Running Buddy bandana for registered dogs. Additional on site features include bone broth bowls for dogs, a costume contest with prizes, a raffle, a silent auction, a swag bag with sponsor items, dog treats, toys, gear, and local vendors.
Organizers maintain a volunteer committee that handles race day logistics, training runs, sponsor outreach, in kind donations, and promotion. Sponsorship packages are available to local businesses and organizations. The event description notes community awareness as a primary goal and frames the 5K as a means to raise funds and visibility for the foundation’s programs.
