Paws & Feet 5k Run/Walk & Doggie Fun Day
Come together for the highly anticipated Paws&Feet 2026 – 5k Walk/Run and Community Fun Day, hosted by the Animal Welfare Association. This annual celebration is all about honoring the special connection between humans and their beloved pets while supporting a great cause.
The day promises entertainment and enjoyment for the whole family, including furry companions. Experience live performances, explore local small business vendors, and indulge in delicious food and drinks from popular local eateries. Plus, kids can engage in a variety of exciting activities tailored just for them, including AWA’s signature Pretend Play Vet Clinic!
Choose from signing up for the 5k run and aim for a personal record or take a leisurely stroll and soak in the vibrant atmosphere. Participate in the 1-mile Wag N’ Walk, where fun is the focus for everyone. All proceeds directly benefit AWA’s vital programs, making a difference in the lives of tens of thousands each year.
Register for the 5K or Wag n’ Walk.
