Supporting the Shelters Behind the Dogs
Every IronPooch event gives local animal shelters and rescue organizations a place in the spotlight. Supporting these organizations is at the heart of what we do—from raising awareness and connecting them with our community to helping generate donations that support the dogs and animals in their care.
IronPooch does not collect or process donations on behalf of our shelter and rescue partners. When you choose to support an organization featured here, your donation goes directly to that organization through its own official website.
Our Shelter & Rescue Partners
These independent animal shelters and rescue organizations join us on course, bring adoptable dogs to the finish-line festival and share their work with our community.
Our Impact
Every race is an opportunity to make a difference. As IronPooch grows, we'll track and share the impact our community makes together.

More Than a Race
IronPooch was created around a simple idea: running with your dog can be about more than crossing a finish line. Our events create opportunities for shelters and rescues to meet people who love dogs, showcase the animals in their care, raise awareness and connect directly with supporters.
