Not Just Another Walk in the Park

Register today to attend the walk/run and festival on June 14. Registrants are not required to participate in the dash or fundraise to attend and enjoy the festival. Doggie Dash is dog-friendly and open to all ages. Please review our Event Rules for Dogs below if you plan to bring your pup!

The Walk: The walk/run kicks off at 9:15 a.m. Choose between a 1K flat loop around the park or a 5K loop into Minto-Brown Island Park. Runners are asked to lead the pack to avoid congestion with walkers. If you prefer to walk or run elsewhere or on another day, please share your experience with us by posting photos or videos and tagging #doggiedash on social media!

The Pet Festival: Open to all registered attendees, the festival features animal-loving local businesses, food trucks, family-friendly activities, a libation station for 21+, and contests with prizes!
