Taking place every year at McFerson Commons Park in the city of Columbus, the Rescue Run is a fun walk and race for people and their favorite furry friends. Owners are asked to keep their dogs on a short leash so they don't trip other event participants, and free dog water is provided. Participants can choose between 5k and 1-mile options; both events take place at the same time and on the same course, but the turn-around spots are well-marked. The race begins every year at exactly nine o'clock in the morning, and race packets can be picked up the day before the race.
