The Paws Humane 5K & Fun Run was born from a simple idea: bring our community together to move, smile, and save lives. What started as a small group of animal lovers jogging with their leashed pups has grown into a signature, family-friendly race day that celebrates fitness, compassion, and second chances. Every step taken and every tail wag at the finish line helps pets in our care get the food, medical attention, and time they need to find a loving home.
