Description

You're invited to Faithful Friends Animal Society's 14TH ANNUAL 5K & Mutt Mile on Sunday, September 29th at Bellevue State Park. Not only is this our biggest fundraising event of the year, it's also the LARGEST dog-friendly race in Delaware! All 5K registrants will receive a FREE 5K shirt or FREE Mutt Mile bandana with registration. Additional merchandise is available for purchase.  

 

Bring your whole family (pups included!) to this beautiful and scenic cross-country 5K course timed by Fusion Racing. Prefer a more leisurely walk? Sign up for our Mutt Mile. Please note, the 5K & Mile Walk courses are MOVING this year. The Figure 8 Barn will be under construction so we will be at the Bandshell. 

The event features race awards for dogs and people, food trucks, vendors, pup kissing booth, plus a meet and greet with some of FFAS adoptable dogs! Register TODAY, and bring the whole family (pups included) to this scenic 5K!

Ask your friends and start a TEAM or an INDIVIDUAL fundraiser (click the donate tab to start a fundraiser)! Proceeds benefit Faithful Friends Animal Society. 


Don't forget to Dress your Pet! 
Dress your Pet in costume for our Doggy Costume Contest. After the Award Ceremony we will be calling up interested participants to parade around the stage with their pet. The crowd will applaud to vote on their favorite and the top three winners will get a prize!
