Hill's Halloween Dog Jog

Join us on October 17, 2026, for the Hill's Halloween Dog Jog, an annual fun run that benefits Homeward Bound Project. This family-friendly event invites both humans and their canine companions to participate in a festive celebration of health and community service.
Choose between two race options: a lively 5K or an extended 10K course through scenic suburban paths lined with fall foliage. Both routes are designed for all skill levels, ensuring that participants can enjoy the run at their own pace while supporting a great cause.
Participants who dress up in Halloween costumes have a chance to win prizes and recognition during our pet costume contest held after the race. Whether you come dressed as your favorite superhero or spooky monster alongside your furry friend, there's no shortage of creativity on display!
The event includes official timing provided by Sisu Race Timing for those looking to track their personal bests. After crossing the finish line, stick around to mingle with fellow runners and enjoy a variety of local vendor booths offering unique items and treats.
Registration guarantees you an official race bib and free t-shirt (while supplies last), as well as entry into the costume contest if you choose to participate. A portion of every registration fee—$10 per participant—is donated directly to Homeward Bound Project, supporting their mission to care for homeless animals in need.
In addition to individual awards for men's and women's top three finishers, there will be special prizes given out during the costume contest. So don't miss this opportunity to make a difference while having fun with your furry friend!
