Hyco Memorial 5K and Doggie Dash
to
Anderson Sports & Entertainment Center 3027 Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, Anderson, South Carolina
Hyco was a loyal, dedicated Anderson County K-9 who gave his life in the line of duty on Oct. 21, 2015 while chasing a car-jacking suspect. Three years to the day of Hyco’s passing, we will honor Hyco and continue his work to help protect our community and K9s across South Carolina by hosting the third annual Hyco Memorial 5K and Doggie Dash. All proceeds from this event will go into the Hyco K-9 Fund, a 501(c)3 charity. This fund is set up to assist K-9 units across South Carolina with costs not currently covered by their budget. This includes ongoing training and equipment. The Doggie Dash event will now begin at 11:30 a.m., and the 5K will start at 8:45 at the Anderson County Civic Center parking lot and end in the same area. Packet pick-up and same-day registration starts at 7 a.m. and ends at 8:30 in the Civic Center parking lot. All participants will receive a race T-shirt, and the finishers are guaranteed a commemorative Hyco Memorial 5K dog tag. Custom-made trophies will be handed out to the top male and female finishers as well as first-, second- and third-place male and female runners in all age categories.
After the run, there will be an expanded family fun event, including beer and wine for those 21 and over with a valid ID. The post-race bash is free to all to attend.
