K9 Blocker Memorial Fun Run-Walk

The K9 Blocker Memorial Fun Run is a community event held on the Fred Meijer Rail Trail and City of Ionia River Trail. Participants can bring their dogs and choose between an easy loop course or a shorter route. The run, which is untimed, supports the City of Ionia Department of Public Safety K9 program. Funds raised assist with acquiring and maintaining a K9 for the department. The event is named in memory of Blocker, the department's first K9 officer, who served for over seven years and passed away in January 2022.
