SHEW's Annual Run for the Rescues 5K
The Annual Run for the Rescues 5K is a community athletic event held in Fulton, Maryland. The event serves as a fundraiser for Safe Haven Equine Warriors (SHEW), a non-profit organization focused on the rescue, rehabilitation, and rehoming of horses. Proceeds from the registration fees assist with veterinary care, feed, and shelter for equines that have been neglected or abandoned.
The event takes place in the Maple Lawn area, specifically starting near Cedar Lane Elementary School. Participants can choose to complete the course as a run or a walk. The route allows participants to engage with other animal advocates and meet rescue ambassadors from the organization.
The registration provides several event items for participants:
- 5 km run and walk
Registered participants receive a commemorative race shirt and a finisher medal. The event atmosphere includes music and various vendors. The course is located at 11600 Scaggsville Rd, providing a scenic environment for the 5-kilometer distance. Results for the race are tracked and posted following the completion of the event.
