Join The Brain Injury Research Lab and the Hennepin Health Foundation for Charlene’s 5K Dog Run. They encourage every human with or without a four-legged friend to participate in enjoying the park, outdoor exercise, and raising money for a unique cause.
The event is untimed (although a clock will be set up) and is an out-and-back course. All dogs must be well behaved and on leashes. Water will be available on the course for all dogs and their owners. 100% of proceeds from the event will support the research of Dr. Samadani (www.samadanilab.com), the Hennepin Health Foundation and The Brain Injury Research Lab.
