Flint's Fabulous 5K
Kannapolis, United States • 20 Sep 2025
Flint's Fabulous 5K is a charitable running event held in Kannapolis, North Carolina, at 150 North Research Campus Drive. Participants run or walk a 5-kilometer course to support Leashes of Valor, a nonprofit that provides no-cost service dogs to post-9/11 veterans suffering from PTSD and other invisible wounds. The event raises funds to cover the extensive training and care costs of these service dogs, which average $30,000 each.
The race is dog-friendly and encourages well-socialized dogs to join. It is part of the Run Kannapolis Race Series, offering discounts for multiple race registrations. Proceeds directly benefit the training and resources needed for future service dogs. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
