    2019 K9K

    Saturday, June 15th, 2019 - 9:00 am-12:00 Noon

    Cost: Registration starts at $35 depending on race

    The K9K began as an idea. An idea to honor a man. A man of God that loved Christ, his girls, his family, and his job. Andy was a Grand Rapids Police Department officer and previously was a Woodridge (IL) Police Department officer. He died while on a training run for an open Canine Handler position with GRPD. The K9K is a way to honor Andy and raise funds for worthy causes. There are two events - a 3k run/walk and a 9k run. Dogs are allowed on both of them, because who wouldn't want to go for a fun walk or run without their dog? But you don't need a dog to participate because everyone is welcome!
