The Louisa County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO) would like to invite everyone to their Annual LCSO K9 5K Run/Walk on Sat April 22, 2023, at 8:30am. The course will be a rolling 5K, with a downhill finish and a really great chance to better your 5K times. Everyone from experienced runners to someone just trying to get up off the couch and walk a bit, are invited to come out and support an awesome cause.

Those participating in the Run/Walk will be starting and finishing the race at the entrance to the beautiful Spring Creek Sports Center. The LCSO K9 5K is hosted by the Louisa County Sheriff’s Office and the Louisa County Sheriff’s Office Foundation to raise money for the support of community programs and the continued success of our K9 program. The beautiful venue is graciously provided by Spring Creek. Visit the LCSO K9 5K Run signup site to register for the race. We truly look forward to seeing you in Spring Creek.
