K9s United Brings Unique Race Event to St. Petersburg on September 27, 2020

2/27/2020

 
If you like to run for a reason, consider participating in the 9K for K9s race event coming to St. Pete this September. This unique event features a K9 Demonstration after the races.

The non-profit org, K9s United was founded by Debbie Johnson in 2015 after the death of K9 Baron. The organization focuses on both supporting and honoring K9 law enforcement officers.

​They host races and other fundraising events to provide equipment and support to active duty K9s. K9s United also commissions memorial portraits for K9s who die in the line of duty. 


Many law enforcement agencies have budget constraints that make it difficult to provide K9 Units with all the resources they need. K9s United works hard to close the gap by providing training, equipment, and care for K9 officers.

K9s United Helped St. Petersburg PD K9 Titan

You may remember that last March, K9 Officer Titan of the St. Petersburg Police Department was shot while on duty. He was shot by a suspect in a traffic stop.

K9s United offered support after the shooting to help with Titan's medical bills.

​The great news is that after his long recovery and rehab, K9 Titan is back on active duty.

BOLO for K9 Titan and his handler, Officer Greg Shone at the 9K for K9s on Sunday, Sept. 27, at Albert Whitted Park.

You're Invited to Run in Downtown St. Pete

The races on September 27 include a 9K, 5K, and 1-Mile Fun Run. Each race begins and ends on the waterfront at Albert Whitted Park. The fun begins at 8 AM.

​Everyone, no matter how fast or slow you walk or run, is invited to join the fun!

If you can't attend in person, you can participate by completing a VIRTUAL RACE. That means you run or walk when and where you can. You'll receive your race shirt and medal by mail a week after the event. Choose Virtual Race when you register for this option.

The K9s United races on Sept. 27 take place along the waterfront in downtown St. Pete. After the races, everyone is invited to enjoy music, food, and fun in Albert Whitted Park. There will be a K9 demonstration after the races.

Races, Food, Music, and Fun

There will be vendors, kid-friendly exhibits, and live music on race day. Besides running, you can volunteer, donate, and sponsor. Gather your friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers to form a fundraising team. Teams earn free race entries and prizes.
​

Watch an Awesome K9 Demo After You Run

The K9 demonstration after the races is a unique way for runners and spectators to learn how K9s and their partners work together to protect the public. Racers can get a photo with a K9.
