Join the 5K that supports Sarasota's only true no-kill animal rescue, Satchel's Last Resort. At Satchel's we give all our animals the gift of time. Whether they are with us due to breed, behavior or medical issues, age or just plain bad luck, all our animals get the love and care they deserve until they find their forever home, even if that ends up being with us! You can make a difference by participating in our 6th Annual Get Your Mutt Movin' 5K!

Located at beautiful Payne Park, the scenic 5K flat course with wide paths, sidewalks and plenty of course monitors ensures that first-time walkers and runners (and their pets!) can safely and comfortably participate alongside more experienced runners.

New this year:
- Raise at least $250 for Satchel's and get free registration! We provide the tools that will make it easy for you! Pick the fundraising option when you register or add it on at any time- once you hit $250 your registration will be credited back to you.
- A new route. No more loops! This year the course extends into the quiet, surrounding neighborhood, still starting and ending in beautiful Payne Park. Plenty of volunteers will be on the course to ensure your safety.
- A new and improved runner/walker reception area with music, refreshments and an official award ceremony recognizing the top 3 winners in each category!
- Satchel's will be collecting donations for our cats and dogs at this year's event! Drop off a donation and receive a free raffle ticket! Click here to check out our amazon wish list, but if all else fails, there's no such thing as too many Pupperoni! Donations will be collected at the Satchel's tent.
Events immediately after the 5K for all runners, walkers and their friends, family and canine companions, including:
- Incredible Cartoonist Jeffrey King drawing cartoons of your pet
- Back by popular demand -"Pie Eating" contest and Costume contest- Prize for winner of each category
- INCREDIBLE raffles! We are already working hard to put together the amazing raffles for 2026
It is strongly encouraged that you pick up your race packet (goody bag, t-shirt and number) the evening before to ensure a smooth morning for all.

When: Friday, March 27th from 4:00 pm -7:00 pm
