Strut Your Mutt

JOIN US FOR OUR FIRST ANNUAL STRUT YOUR MUTT 2K/5K WALKATHON!

10 AM on May 3, 2025 at Springbrook Park Pavilion

Pet owners, animal welfare advocates, and people just searching for a fun family-friendly time are invited to attend. You do not need to be a dog owner to participate, but if you are, bring your well-behaved furry friend along for the fun. 

Registration is $25, which includes an event t-shirt and swag bag. Kids 12 and under are free. Make sure to get your friends and family to contribute to the walkathon – just click on DONATE at the top of the page, then click on BECOME A FUNDRAISER in the drop-down menu.  

Fats BBQ, Floyd's Snack Shack, and SnoBiz will be on hand with tasty treats for humans, while Salty Paws will have doggie ice cream and treats for your furry friends. Vendors will offer a variety of goods and services, and Blount County Animal Center will have an adoption table and some our favorite dogs available for adoption. 

We are grateful to Tim Ivens Realty & Development and Independence Title, and Crikett Lane Pet Boarding & Daycare and High Priestess Tattoo, for sponsoring our event at the platinum and gold levels.

Proceeds from Strut Your Mutt benefit Friends of the Blount County Animal Center, a 501(c)3 charitable organization that provides all funding for medicines, veterinary staff and services to the center.
