2025 Hill's Great Rover Road Run

Event Overview

The Hill's Great Rover Road Run (GRRR) is an annual 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run that promotes health and wellness amongst people and their four-legged friends, all while raising money for the LSU Veterinary Teaching Hospital's Good Samaritan Fund. This is a fun and exciting event for all involved! Whether you are ready for a 5K or simply want to take your pet for a fun stroll, this event promises a day full of activities and community togetherness. All race proceeds and donations benefit the Good Samaritan Fund.

About The Good Samaritan Fund

Each year, over 300 animals needing emergency treatment are brought to the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine’s 24-hour emergency facility by Good Samaritans who care deeply for animals in need. Our Veterinary Teaching Hospital provides critical care and ICU to these homeless animals who often stay for days or weeks as they heal. Funds raised through this event help cover the cost of treatment for these animals.

Extra Events

During the Hill's Great Rover Road Run, there will also be the LSU Vet Med SAVMA Dog Wash, Hill's Pet Trick & Costume contests, music, yard games, and more! Find more information on these events via the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine and 2025 Hill's Great Rover Road Run Facebook pages.
