Doggy Dash 5K Walk and Fun Run

Valley View High School

The Mayor’s Youth Advancement Council of Jonesboro presents Doggy Dash 5K Walk & Fun Run. The event is going to be held at the Valley View High School Parking lot.

NAFA is an all volunteer rescue that specializes in low-cost vaccination events and low-cost cat neuters, in conjunction with Jonesboro Animal Services.
Join the students of the MYAC by bringing your pup (or not) and participating in a 5K Fun Run / Walk for charity! If you cannot join us in person, become a virtual participant.
