One of the biggest fan favorites of the Black Cat 5K is back! Browse and bid on lots of amazing raffle baskets, prizes, gift cards, experiences, and silent auction items generously donated by local businesses and supporters throughout the community.

From pet lovers and foodies to sports fans and spa enthusiasts, there’s something for everyone — all while supporting a great cause! 

All proceeds directly benefit A Kitten Place and help provide lifesaving care, food, medical treatment, and shelter for homeless cats and kittens in need.

Get ready to show off your creativity because our annual Black Cat 5K Costume Contest is one of the most anticipated and entertaining parts of the event! Whether you’re dressing spooky, funny, festive, or completely over-the-top, we encourage participants of all ages (and their pets) to join in the Halloween fun. 

We’ll have separate costume contest categories for both humans and pets, with prizes awarded for some of the most creative and crowd-favorite looks of the day. From adorable pet costumes and matching family outfits to hilarious group themes and spooky Halloween creations, there’s no limit to the fun!

Become a sponsor and help make the 2026 Black Cat 5K possible while showcasing your business to hundreds of community members and animal lovers!
