Puppy Love 5K Run/Walk

About the event

Join us for the 4th annual Puppy Love 5K!

Join the Pack for a 5K run or walk with and for your best four-legged friends.

This race is 100% dog friendly for all well socialized pups on a leash. We do ask that any owners running with dogs be prepared with a pick up bag to attend to any unscheduled potty breaks on the course. Dogs are not allowed off leash at any time.

You can run with a dog or without.  Limit one dog per handler.  1 runner + 1 dog = $45.  Minimum age for a runner with a dog is 12 years old.  Kids 10 and under run free, but must be accompanied by an adult and do not receive race swag and are not officially timed. 

There will be awards for the top 3 male and female finishers with a dog, as well as:

  • Best Sweetheart Squad (Valentine's theme or general costume)
  • Best Heart Melter/Most Adorbs
  • Best Butt Wiggle
  • Grand Master Award/Most Likely to Take a Nap
  • Novice Award/Most Enthusiastic

All prizes sponsored by Dolittle’s Pet Shop.

After the race, stick around for an owner/dog 100 yard Dash Race!  Fastest Dog gets a prize.  

Be sure to check out the tennis ball field, stick crossing and squirrel overlook!

The race will take place on Saturday, February 7th at 9:00am at the beautiful Palmetto Island Park in Mount Pleasant.  Free park entry and parking is available in the park with your race entry.  

All participants will receive a race t-shirt and matching bandana for their puppy love.  

Please note that if you select the "10 & under free" registration category, a t-shirt is not included. To receive a t-shirt and a timing chip, participants must register as paid entrants.

Hot chocolate and human and pup treats will be available post race.  

Share the love with your favorite furry valentine and run our Puppy Love 5K run!

The event will support the Lucy Beckham Meowdog Rescue and the Charleston Animal Society.

Packet Pick Up will take place at Blue Sky Endurance at 624 Coleman Blvd on Friday, February 6th from 10am - 6pm and Saturday from 8am - 8:30am at Palmetto Island Park.
