🐾 Paws & Soles Saving Lives with Strides 5K Run/Walk and Fun Run
The Paws & Soles Saving Lives with Strides 5K Run/Walk and Fun Run is a major fundraiser for the Friends of Somerset Regional Animal Shelter (FOSRAS) and a wag of a great time! The annual event draws animal lovers from all over to share the day with and in honor of four-legged friends. In addition to the official 5K event, the day includes vendors, a K-9 demonstration, food, and of course, a chance to meet FURiends.
