Why take your dog for a walk when you can take them for a fun run instead? The Blue Stone 5K-9 will be a pawsome event happening during the Blue Stone Art and Music Festival. Don't miss this tail-wagging good time with your "best friend!"
Runners and walkers of all ages and abilities are welcome with or without a furry friend! The route is a primarily flat road race, down and back route.
In partnership with Catalyst Sports, Sandy Springs Recreation & Parks will have a limited number of adaptive hand cycles bikes available to borrow for this event for people with disabilities. To reserve an adaptive cycle, please email gillian@catalystsports.org
