29th Annual

Run for the Animals & Barktoberfest

presented by The Dog House

Please join us for the 29th Annual Run for the Animals & Barktoberfest on Sunday, October 6th, 2024! Whether you’re an experienced runner aiming for a personal best or just want to enjoy a lovely walk to support a great cause, this event is for YOU!
 
Run for the Animals is a timed 5K run/walk and event at Karst Farm Park, with all of the proceeds benefiting the programs and services of the Monroe County Humane Association. New in 2024, the 5K is no longer an out & back run. We’ve added a loop through Monroe County Fairgrounds to cut down on runners and walkers with pets encountering each other. This is intended to keep everyone safe, and to allow our competitive runners to move through the course without added obstacles.
   

Barktoberfest is 100% free for members of our community to attend, and includes local vendors, food trucks, and tons of other fun games and activities for both families and furry friends!  

View the schedule for Run for the Animals & Barktoberfest 

We anticipate welcoming hundreds of runners, walkers, and furry friends to this event! Don’t miss this great opportunity to support animal welfare in our community!
