The first “Who Let the Dogs Out” run and “Tail Waggers” fun run/walk, a fundraiser for Spay-Neuter Kansas, will be Nov. 8 at Sedgwick County Park. People can participate with or without their dogs.

The 5k timed run will start at 8:30 a.m. at the Sunflower building in the park, 6501 W. 21st St. Race fees are $30 – $35 after Nov. 5 – plus a $3.25 sign-up fee.

The 1-mile fun run and walk starts at 9:30 a.m. The race fee is $15 – $20 after Nov. 5 – plus the sign-up fee.

Money raised will go to Spay-Neuter Kansas, a clinic in Wichita that helps low-income pet owners get their dogs and cats spayed or neutered at a low cost.
