Dublin Pet Fair 5K Race - Sponsored by Pet Palace

We have partnered with USA Race Timing and Event Management to bring you the Annual Dublin Pet Fair 5K race, sponsored by Pet Palace! The race will start and end at the Dublin Rec Center and will travel through the Indian Run Meadows Park with the turning point at the ML Red Trabue Nature Reserve.

The purpose of the Dublin Pet Fair is to bring awareness to animal welfare organizations in the state of Ohio, to promote adoption of shelter and rescue pets, to showcase animal related vendors and sponsors, and to provide an educational and entertaining event for the public. Proceeds from this event will be utilized for spay/neuter efforts to help control pet overpopulation, a major concern faced by the rescue community in our state. 

Rescue organizations and shelters will bring along adoptable pets. Pet related business and organizations will be showcasing their products and services. The Southern Ohio Flying K9s will have multiple demonstrations and there will be pet races and a pet parade. The Rascal Unit will be conducting a wellness clinic from 12-3pm, providing vaccinations, microchips and preventative care at an affordable price. The first 50 microchips will be free of charge thanks to the generous donation from Pet FBI.  In addition, there will be food trucks, raffles, items for sale and much more. 

Join fellow runners on September 27, 2026 for the Dublin Pet Fair 5K Race - Sponsored by Pet Palace. It's a fantastic 5K featuring a flat and fast course in Dublin.
