WALK, RUN, HAVE FUN!!
Join us for a day of family fun with your dog featuring the Scaredy Cat K95K.
The day features a 5K walk/run for people and dogs of all ages! Costumes encouraged but not required. Best dressed pup will get a prize!
There will be plenty of family fun at the health & fitness fair. Enjoy music, vendors, food, beer, doggy demonstrations, and more. Best of all, this day is for charity! Proceeds from the event will benefit the animal welfare programs of the MVMA Charities and Travis Fund, the chosen charity of Tufts SAVMA, to help care for animals in need.
This year, we're offering a VIRTUAL option for those who can't make it on October 25! Walk or run the 5K alone or with your pet. Take this opportunity to run/walk with ANY of your pets - cat, pig, goat, bird, or any other pet you call your bestie! Virtual participants will also receive the commemorative race t-shirt if registered by the October 1 deadline. Submit a picture of you with your pet and we'll feature you in a social media shout-out.
Raise at least $100 for charity or refer at least 5 friends (who sign up) and your registration fee will be refunded!
Register by October 1, 2026 to guarantee a complimentary race t-shirt!
