Waiver can be found here.
We’ll start at the Redwood Area Animal Shelter, head North and circle the Activeaid loop, go around Legion Park, head East on Oak Street, cross the scenic walking trail, and finish right back where we started—at the shelter, where tails will be wagging and spirits will be high.
