Charity Information

War Dog Ranch is a local non-profit organization created in 2013 for the purpose of helping veterans with physical and mental disabilities using nature and outdoor activities. We received our 501(c)3 in 2019 and before we could get off the ground COVID hit and shut everything down. It was until 2021 that we could finally get a footing and start our journey towards helping veterans. Some of the activities we have had the opportunity to do is whitetail hunting, turkey hunting, camping and catfishing. We plan to grow more and more every year with all the new and amazing relationships we have built.

Weather Policy

We are an all-weather race company (rain or shine or sleet or snow). We will email registered runners and post on social media if the race is cancelled, but this is quite rare, otherwise assume the race is taking place as scheduled.

Weekly weather reports are posted on the Thursday before race weekends on our Facebook page by Chad Merrill with the Hagerstown Almanack.  Race officials may delay, change or postpone the event due to weather conditions.  All registered runners will be notified via email of any changes.  In most cases, a decision is not made until the night before the race, and a decision could come as late as the morning of the event.
