    Race t-shirt guaranteed for those who register by September 1, 2026, or until sold out online.

    Run or Walk: It's entirely an off-road experience! In recognition of Adopt a Shelter Dog Month. It is our demonstration and commitment to enrichment for paws of all kinds. Limited number of in-person participants allowed; act now to secure your spot in the race!

    For our second annual PawPals Endeavor we are offering more activities that are bound to be a spoooky good time for PawRents and PawPals! This year proceeds will go to Disruptive Endeavors Inc. (dba GetDisrupted.Org) and a selected partner organization (to be announced).

    We are on a mission to provide a fuller and more enriching life for our PawPals - a source of joy and comfort for us PawRents. With your participation and help we can accomplish this task, keeping our eyes peeled, ears tuned, noses up, and paws forward to a better tomorrow with hoomankinds’s best pals. If we have learned anything, it is this: River, Aston, and Nova are not “pets”; they are family, members of our household, our ride-or-dies, our PawPals for life. Our transition into PawRents taught us that enrichment was an essential part for their development and well-being; from engaging in their training as a bonding strategy to encouraging socialization as a way to reveal their personalities and create independence. Our PawPals require dedication from us as much as they dedicate themselves to us.

    We aim to provide a space where PawRents and PawPals can come together for a PawFect cause: to instill hope in us all and help save lives while also encouraging social interaction among our friends. The Passion of life shown through Affection, Loyalty, and Service for one another — PawRents and PawPals alike.

    Your PawPals 4 Life 5K Registration includes: General Admission for you, your guest, and your PawPal into the PawPals Endeavor: Spoooky Edition. Plus a single (1) participant entry (PawRent) and your dog (PawPal) into the dog-friendly 5k, an official event t-shirt, finisher medal, and your registered PawPal receives a matching finisher medal and bandana. Additional PawPals may register for an additional charge (up to a maximum of 4 PawPals per PawRent registered for the 5k) and will also receive a matching finisher medal and bandana.

    PawPals Endeavor 2026 Promotional Giveaway: Your Registration and check-in for the PawPals 4 Life 5K automatically receives a single (1) “No Purchase Necessary” entry and 9 additional entries (for a total of ten (10) entries) into the PawPals Endeavor 2026 Promotional Giveaway.

    Be a part of our charity race through the historic district of Longwood. All proceeds will benefit the preservation of our historic landmarks in Longwood through the Longwood Historic Society. The society maintains three buildings within the district, built in the 1870s and 1880s. We need your help to raise money for the continued restoration and preservation necessary to keep them around for another generation! The race will begin and end at the Historic Civic Center in downtown Longwood's historic district.

    It will be a fun, family-friendly, and Halloween-themed event. We invite runners to wear costumes and will award prizes for the best costumes. There will be a free kids' dash immediately before the 5K. We will play plenty of family-appropriate music, including Halloween favorites, to get you into the spirit.

    The Longwood Historic Society is a non-profit organization. Contributions are tax-deductible. 100% of the proceeds from the race will go to the Society, whose primary mission is to preserve and restore our historic buildings. Our goal for this year is to raise enough money to replace the upper roof of the Bradlee-McIntyre House. Thanks for your help!!!
