The fifth annual “The See Spot Run” will take place on Saturday, May 18, 2013 in downtown Guthrie, Oklahoma. This race event is benefitting Free to Live, a non-profit animal sanctuary located in Edmond, Oklahoma (www.freetoliveok.com).
2013 is the fifth year for this annual running event which was created in memory of Chris Cowden, a long-time Guthrie resident and animal rights advocate, who was tragically killed in a motorcycle accident on May 17, 2008. In the four years of this event “The See Spot Run” has collectively welcomed over 3,000 runners from all over the State of Oklahoma and raised $30,000 for the Free to Live Animal Sanctuary. In memory of his passion for the rescue and fair treatment of all animals, in addition to his zeal for running and athletics, the Cowden Family and friends created the “The See Spot Run” to honor Chris’ animal advocate efforts and legacy. Through this annual sporting event, they have continued to promote in Chris’ memory an increased awareness of animal rights and the lasting support of non-profit animal organizations such as Free to Live.
“The See Spot Run” will offer all participants the opportunity to compete in a “Kids one mile Fun Run” that will begin at 8:00 a.m. and a 5K and 10K event that will begin at 9:00 a.m. Walkers and runners are welcome and can register directly at www.theseespotrun.com. Online registration will close on May 15th. Walk up registration will be provided at the start line the day of the race beginning at 7:00 a.m. Donations for this event can also be sent to “The See Spot Run” P.O. Box 292, Guthrie, Oklahoma, 73044.
