Founded in 2017, The Doggie Run has been part of RUN FOR PAWS team, growing movement of both physical and virtual races, uniting dog lovers across Mexico and the United States. Our mission? To inspire people to get active with their pups—whether you're in Los Angeles, Mexico or anywhere in between!
This year, our physical race will take place in November in Los Angeles, but we want the entire country to join the fun. No matter where you are, you can be part of this exciting experience.
With every registration, you are supporting animal shelter from LA, this year we're placing a special emphasis on promoting dog adoption. That’s why we’re proud to partner with Animal Services and help more pups find their forever homes.
Join our pack of dog-loving runners and walkers who are:

🐾 Making a Difference – Every step you take helps pups in need.
🎉 Celebrating Together – Share your race photos, meet fellow dog lovers, and show off your event gear!
Don’t forget to take lots of pictures! We can’t wait to see your pup rocking our exclusive bandana, and you in your official event shirt—both proudly wearing your medals. Let’s make memories and strengthen the bond between you and your furry friend.
And don’t stop there—share your photos on Instagram or Facebook! Every post helps inspire others to get moving with their dogs too, spreading the joy and deepening the connection between humans and their canine companions.
WE CAN’T WAIT TO RUN (AND BARK!) WITH YOU!
This collage is from our last mission—but we’d love to fill it with photos from this year, and maybe you could be in it! Just bring your best attitude, strike a happy pose with your pup, and smile with your best friend!
