Race For The Animals Registration Now Open!

June 30, 2013

Northwest VEG's 4th annual Race for the Animals event is June 30 and registration is now open! This year we are changing this up and heading to Mt Tabor! So lace up your shoes and come run or walk an extinct volcano! Enjoy chip trails, pavement, stairs and lovely views around Mt. Tabor's three reservoirs and the summit. Finish the fun with a post-run/walk vegan picnic of fruit, breads & spreads, and sweet treats. A great time for the whole family!

The mission of this fun 10k or 5k run/walk is to generate awareness of a plant-based lifestyle and to raise money for Northwest VEG's education and outreach campaigns. Part of the proceeds will also benefit Out to Pasture Sanctuary!
