For the fifth year the Northeast Cobb Business Association is holding what it’s called a 5K9 run.
The event, which includes a shorter “puppy” trot for kids eight and under, takes place Saturday at 8 a.m. at Piedmont Church (570 Piedmont Road).
It’s one of the main fundraising events of the year for the NCBA, and each year the proceeds have gone for the purchase and training of a dog for local law enforcement and public safety agencies.
This year, the race will go toward the purchase of a specially trained comfort dog, for victims who go through the Cobb District Attorney’s Office Children and Elderly Abuse Court.
Registration is open through racetime, with same-day sign-up beginning at 7 a.m. Saturday onsite. The cost is $10-$25
Participants can bring their dogs along if they like, but are asked to clean up after their pets.
