welcome to the

5th annual no-k

WHAT?

Celebrate Fall with pumpkin spice, spooky decorations, and the FIFTH annual No-K from Odd Man Inn! It’s our kookiest event of the season (along with every other kooky event we typically organize).

“Race” Day is Thursday, October 31st, which is the day we ALL submit our entries for the No-K. You can film it early, but we all submit it together on the 31st!

HOW

It’s just three simple steps to participate in the easiest race of all time!

STEP 1

Grab one of our LIMITED number of race bibs as your entry into the “Race”! (Note: there is no actual racing happening because that defeats the joke.)

STEP 2

Sip a hot beverage. Play pinochle. Walk your tortoise. Trim your shrubs. Just do whatever you like this fall, and make sure to wear your race bib to play the game!

STEP 3

Upload your video to Facebook or Instagram, tag @OddManInn, cheer on fellow racers, and watch the fun unfold! 

CATEGORIES AND PRIZES

Like every year, we will have prizes for different categories of your No-K entry! Winning entries in each category will be selected by a member of the on-site Animal Care Crew!

WHY?

This year, the No-K is a benefit for sweet Janice, who is scheduled for an elbow replacement in early December. The surgery is highly specialized, and the bill is a hefty $10,000. Proceeds from the No-K will go towards the completion of that fundraiser for Janice, and any additional funds will go towards the medical care of the nearly 200 animals who call Odd Man Inn their home.
