Coon Dog Day returns to the charming town of Saluda, North Carolina July 9th, 2022. The 5k is back by popular demand after several years off. This is a project and fundraiser for Saluda Elementary School. The run begins on Main Street at 8am and follows the traditional Coon Dog Day 5k route. The event this year will be a fun run with no official winners or losers. Race packets including a shirt and other goodies are limited in supply so sign up early. Plan to stay for the daylong festival of crafts, food, music and quirky small town fun.
