About the Event

T-SHIRT DEADLINE IS MAY 20TH!!

Join the The Sanctuary at Haafsville on Sunday, June 1, 2025, 9:00 a.m., for the Fast and Furriest 5K Run & Walk

The Sanctuary at Haafville is a local non-profit no-kill animal rescue in Breinigsville PA. We are hosting our 2nd Annual run/walk event, The Fast and Furriest 5k on June 1, 2025. All funds raised through this event will be used for the daily care of our animals including vetting and medical expenses. To date, we have rescued over 14,000 animals and placed them in loving "furever" homes!. These animals “rescue” the people who adopt them as well. They enrich the lives of the families they join. Our goal is to be able to continue to bring people and animals together.

With a fun course, a custom-designed race T-shirt, and post-race refreshments, we’re sure you’ll be calling this 5k one of your most favorite running events and know all proceeds go right back to supporting the animals. 

We invite participants to run or walk the course which will be open to the public but will have traffic control on site. Race fee is $35 through April 29th ($40 after that date and NO race day registration.) 

Race Day Check-In: Begins at 8:00 AM - All runners must check in prior to the race. 

Awards:
Overall Male 1st & 2nd
Overall Female 1st & 2nd
Age Group Winners

NO DUPLICATION OF AWARDS

While we love everyones pets we prefer you don't bring your pet to this event. We will be featuring several of the shelter dogs and want them to be the focus so we can find them homes!
