Canine 4K Run/Walk
Canine 4K Run/Walk
30th Annual in Frisco - Saturday, August 1, 2020, 8:00 am - Noon
Nearly 150 delighted dogs and plenty more happy humans from all over the world participate for a good cause, raising almost $17,000 each year! Please bring the family and help LAPS celebrate 30 years of helping locals and their pets! This event is always filled with vendors handing out free product samples, local canine specialists providing special services, fun doggie contests, door prizes, munchies, HUGE silent auction, and a charity 4K race that you can walk or run and win prizes. Local musician favorite, Randall McKinnon will be entertaining us, so come and enjoy! More details available this summer!
The 29th Annual LAPS K94K was SO much fun! Runners and Walkers looped around Frisco under a perfect CO sunny morning and then rewarded their loyal furry sidekicks with a Starbucks Puppuccino and a dip in the cool doggie pools afterwards. Caricature artist, Lauren Floden, did such life-like images of the pooches that she had to take a list of names home with her to finish all the portraits...here's hoping she'll come back next year! Paw Painting and Doggie Contests and a HUGE Silent Auction, along with our Flea Market rounded out the day of activities and everyone (even the pups!) enjoyed the music and entertainment provided by Randall McKinnon.
This year's proceeds went way over our usual fundraising mark and we collected over $25,000 from our generous Sponsors and participants and had a great group of Vendors and volunteers to make this the most fun ever...Thank you ALL!
A Big Thanks to our K94K Sponsors, Vendors and Supporter!
