MacDill's Paws 4 Heroes 5K (Formerly Paws for Patriots 5k)

The Southeastern Guide Dogs MacDill's Paws for Heroes event is a fun and supportive endurance activity held at a scenic park in Tampa. Participants receive both a shirt and finisher's medal. Runners can join the event virtually and on location, and the activity supports the Paws for Patriots Program. This program is dedicated to providing invaluable service dogs to veterans at no cost, assisting with visual impairments or PTSD. All funds raised benefit this worthy cause. Age group awards are available, and virtual participants operate on an honor system, proving flexibility for all participants.
