Paws & Feet 5k Run/Walk and Doggie Fun Day

Animal Welfare Association’s signature event, the Paws & Feet 5k Run/Walk and Doggie Fun Day is an annual fundraising event celebrating the unbreakable bond between humans and their pets.
It’s a day full of fun activities for the whole family, including your furry best friends! We’ll have live entertainment, local small business vendors, children’s activities, food and drink from local favorites, and more.
Run, Walk or Ramble
You can sign up to run in our 5k and go for a personal best time, or take it easy as you walk the distance with your pup and enjoy the morning.
If you’re not up for a full 5k, you can take part in our shorter Rescue Ramble, focused on fun for all. Be sure to dress up your pet (and yourself) for a chance to win our costume contest.
Proceeds from the event go directly to funding AWA’s lifesaving programs, which touch tens of thousands in our community each year.
