CSR Rescue Romp and Cocker Crawl - White Bear Lake, Minnesota - Running

The CSR Rescue Romp and Cocker Crawl is a Running race in White Bear Lake, Minnesota consisting of a 1 Mile and 5K.

Animals are very close to the hearts of the Tri Fitness Team. As some of you know, we've got several lovable cocker spaniels amping up the environment at the Racing offices and the Training Center. We are hosting a very special event to support our love of animals and the work that Cocker Spaniel Resources, Inc. (CSR for short) is doing.

A little background on Cocker Spaniel Resources, Inc...

CSR was founded in 2006, attained 501(c)(3) status in 2007, and serves primarily in the Upper Midwest. It is an organization that started out on a mission to rescue cocker spaniels and specializes in breeder release and puppy mill American cocker spaniels, but they have since expanded to rescuing several other breeds in the process. To date, CSR has taken in and cared for over 650 dogs. More often then not, when they rescue these dogs they are in horrific condition, requiring very expensive medical care. None of this care is donated by the vets. The women who run this organization fund the surgeries, etc. with donations.

Breed specific rescue organizations offer more services than shelters can. Every year CSR focuses on fundraising efforts to support a specific need for dogs. In 2017, we were able to raise over $3000 through race registrations, virtual race registrations and donations. This year, proceeds will go towards overall rescue efforts and wherever the money is most needed to help these animals. We would love to see the amount raised climb to over $4000 this year with your help.

Tri Fitness while partnering with CSR will be hosting 2 race categories for this event - the Rescue Romp 5k and the Cocker Crawl 1 mile Fun Run. We hope you'll consider participating in this close-to-our-hearts walk/run event as we can have a substantial impact on the number of dogs who receive the necessary treatment. Can't join us the event day, please consider racing virtually.

Pets of every size and breed are, of course, welcome!
