Lucky Dog 5K

Run, walk, or stroll with your pup at the Lucky Dog 5K - dogs welcome but not required!

Each registration includes a race shirt and finisher medal for participants, select options for a plus one furry friend with a doggie bag dispenser and pop-up water bowl (additional dogs $10 each).

If you register before 2/24/27 your shirt size is guaranteed, after that date limited shirt sizes will be available, and first come first serve!

Runners/walkers without dogs are welcome to participate at a reduced registration fee that includes a race shirt and finisher medal.

Don’t forget to show off your style - awards for Best Dressed Small, Medium, and Large Dog, plus Best Overall Human & Dog Duo. After the race, stick around for a themed Bark Hour, a tail-wagging celebration with snacks and drinks for people and pups alike.

Whether you’re running, walking, or just soaking in the fun, it’s a paws-itively great way to celebrate together!
