Clifford's Downtown Hounds

Clifford's Downtown Hounds 5K is a charitable running event in Shelby, North Carolina, hosted by RollOver Pets. The mostly flat 5K course runs through the streets of Shelby, making it a fast option for PRs. The event brings together runners and animal lovers to benefit Clifford's Army Rescue, a volunteer nonprofit that gives voice to animals in need.

The day also features Clifford's Army 5K and a Fun Run, expanding participation for supporters of the cause. Shirts are guaranteed through November 3, with extra shirts on hand. The atmosphere is welcoming and rescue-focused, inviting the community to join the effort. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
