Running for the Florida Keys SPCA

Each stride of the Hog Trot 5K supports the Florida Keys SPCA, a nonprofit dedicated to animal rescue, shelter, medical care, adoptions, and humane education. Runners and walkers alike make a direct impact on animal welfare across the Keys while enjoying a festive morning in Old Town Key West.
