Get ready to make a difference and have a great time at the 9th annual NOLA Dogs Race to the Rescue 5K for Animal Rescue on Sunday October 11, 2026.
This unique race takes you through the stunning, historic grounds of Lake Lawn Metairie Cemetery, hosted by Heaven’s Pets, where every step you take helps save animals in need.
We’re calling on all animal lovers to join the cause and be part of the solution! While it’s not a requirement, we’d love for you to commit to raising at least $100. AND if you hit $250 or more, your registration is FREE! Whether you join us for the chip-timed race or choose the virtual option, your participation will directly support rescue efforts.
Why should you sign up? Here are the perks:
Commemorative T-Shirt
Adorable Finisher Medal
Goodie Bag
Post-Race Refreshments
A scenic run (or walk) through the historic Lake Lawn Metairie Cemetery
And most importantly, the incredible feeling of knowing you're helping animals in need!
Plus, there’s more! You’ll enjoy a second line parade before the race with a live brass band and a Blessing of the Pets after the race.
First-place male and female finishers will win $100 cash and a trophy. We’re also awarding trophies for top fundraising teams, so gather your squad and race for a cause!
Don’t miss out—sign up, start fundraising, and help us make a real difference in the lives of rescue animals in the South!
