About this race
Get Ready to Run (or Wag) for a Cause: Join Us at the Fast and Furriest 5K!
Calling all animal lovers, runners, walkers, and tail-waggers! The Green County Humane Society (GCHS) is thrilled to announce the upcoming Fast and Furriest 5K — a fun run/walk where every step you take helps support the amazing animals at GCHS.
When: Saturday, October 10th at 9:00 AM (Registration begins at 8:30 AM)
Where: Sugar River Trail, New Glarus, WI
This is more than just a race — it’s a paw-some way to enjoy a beautiful spring day with friends (both two- and four-legged), get some exercise, and give back to a great cause. All proceeds from the event will go directly towards providing food, medical care, and shelter for the animals at GCHS.
Bring Your Furry Friend!
Got a friendly, leash-trained pup? Bring them along! Dogs are more than welcome to join the fun — just make sure they’re comfortable around other animals and people. Add your dog as a participant for $10 and they receive a GCHS Bandana!
What to Expect:
🐶 Scenic views along the Sugar River Trail
🎶 Live music to keep your energy up
🍎 Tasty snacks for both humans and pups
🐾 Adorable animals from GCHS looking for their forever homes
Gather your friends, grab your running shoes (and your dog’s favorite leash), and come be a part of a day full of fun, fur, and fundraising. Whether you run like a greyhound or stroll like a basset hound, every step makes a difference.
Let’s make tails wag and hearts race for a great cause. We can’t wait to see you there!
Register by September 25th to guarantee you get your shirt for race day!
