Cara Run For Their Lives
Run for Their Lives! has become one of CARA's biggest fundraisers to keep our shelter in operation. Carolina Animal Rescue and Adoption is a no-kill, non-profit Animal Shelter in Sanford, NC. In operation since 2004, dedicated volunteers and animal advocates took over the rescue from the San-Lee Humane Society. Since that time, CARA has been growing and helping more and more unwanted, stray, abandoned dogs and cats find their furrrever homes! Since CARA does not receive any public funding or assistance, every penny raised goes right to the care and well being of the animals! We're fueled completely by these events and the generosity of our supporters! CARA helped to find homes for over 400 animals in 2022!!
Please consider signing up and RUN our beautiful (maaaaybe a few hills!) 5k or 10k through Historic Sanford and our Greenway on Saturday August 24th! We will again offer our "Challenge" and you can RUN BOTH courses! (Special Medal for Challenge Finishers! PLUS award for top Male &Female ) or run VIRTUALLY ! Run the CARA course at your own time/schedule (course maps on this site) OR find your own 5k/10k course to RUN ! ORRR if Running is not your cup of tea, and you would like to support CARA and get a great race t-shirt, enjoy the comfort of your bed and SLEEP for Their Lives! (your T-shirt will be mailed to you! ) Whichever option you choose, you will know that you are helping to provide better lives for the many unwanted animals here in Central North Carolina.
The 5k Race will begin at Kiwanis Park at 7:30am, The 10k Race will begin at 8:15am (For those running the "Challenge" and are running both courses, you would start at 7:30 with the 5k group, come back and wait until 8:15am to start with the 10k group).
