About this race
Phoenix 5K Run & Paw-some 1-Mile Walk/Run
Join us for an inspiring afternoon of community, movement, and compassion at our Phoenix 5K Run and Paw-some 1-Mile Walk/Run beginning at 4:00 PM. Runners, walkers, families, and four-legged friends of all abilities are welcome to participate.
This event directly supports the lifesaving mission of the Humane Society of Harford County, helping provide care, shelter, medical treatment, and second chances for animals in our community. Every step taken and every dollar raised helps animals on their journey from hardship to hope—just like the Phoenix rising.
Enjoy a lively event atmosphere featuring local vendors, music, and activities throughout the afternoon. After the races conclude, stay for our Winner’s Circle celebration, where top finishers are recognized and we come together to celebrate resilience, second chances, and the impact this community makes possible.
Leashed dogs are welcome to participate but must be friendly, well-socialized, and comfortable around other dogs and people to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all.🐾🏃♀️🎉
Additional day-of event details will be provided closer to the event date via email.
