Join Friends of Somerset Regional Animal Shelter as we come together to raise funds for the Cupid Fund.
The Paws & Soles Saving Lives with Strides 5K Run/Walk and Fun Run is a major fundraiser for the Friends of Somerset Regional Animal Shelter (FOSRAS) and a wag of a great time! The annual event draws animal lovers from all over to share the day with and in honor of four-legged friends. In addition to the official 5K event, the day includes vendors, food, and of course, a chance to meet FURiends.

Location: Duke Island Park, Bridgewater, NJ

The Cupid Fund is a special fund dedicated to helping our shelter animals that require extraordinary medical treatment. The fund provides care for any animal needing more than the basics - spay/neuter, vaccines, and microchipping. All medical tests, blood work, specialist consults, surgery, treatment of illnesses, etc. are paid for by donations to FOSRAS Cupid Fund. Please visit our website at: FOSRAS Website
We use Chronotrack RFID systems for chip timing. All awards will be calculated based on chip time, not gun time.
