Get out and run/walk with your dog! Join us for a pawsitively good time at The Savannah Kennel Club’s Fast and Furriest Race.
The racecourse wraps around the picturesque Lake Mayer. We will have a pup-arazzi on the course to capture all of the fun. All dog participants and their handlers receive a finisher’s medal. Race packets include a bandana for your pup and a long sleeve technical shirt. Awards are given to the top three finishers in each division. Post-race refreshments and massages are available for the dog participants and their handlers.
Don’t have a dog? No worries! You can borrow a running buddy from one of our local rescues who will pair you with an appropriate running buddy. The Fast and Furriest 5 K-9 Race is fun for the entire family! Children 9 years of age or older can participate while accompanied by a parent or guardian and in control of their furry running buddy.
The Fast and The Furriest race kicks off WAGFEST - a weekend long festival celebrating canine-human friendship. The two-day festival includes canine sports and activities, food, shopping, raffles, contests, and presentations by pet experts. We are happy to announce we will offer Fast-Cat, CAT, Agility, Conformation match, and MORE!
