Richmond SPCA's 25th Annual Dog Jog, 5K and Block Party

About the event

Join thousands of animal lovers for the 25th Annual Dog Jog, 5K and Block Party, presented by Holiday Barn Pet Resorts and benefiting the Richmond SPCA! Participate in person or select the "run anywhere" option. 

On Saturday, March 20, expect a day packed  with fun activities for the whole family. The day begins with a chip-timed 5K (3.1 mile) for people only, our free short distance Kids' Fun Run, then a leisurely 1-mile Dog Jog. The event is rain or shine, however our Block Party will have a rain date of Sunday, March 21. All net proceeds aid in our efforts to rescue and rehabilitate homeless animals and to deliver crucial programs to pets and the people who love them.

  • An event T-shirt (for the first 1,000 registrants)
  • A bag full of exciting giveaways from our generous sponsors (for the first 1,000 registrants)
