Description

The Bow-WOW-Walk is where Charlottesville comes together to strut their mutts, celebrate community, and spend a joy-filled morning outdoors with the people (and pups) you love. It’s a family-friendly, dog-forward celebration of movement, wellness, and care. Complete with optional competitive 5k trail run, Kids Dash for racers under 8 years old, vendors, facepaint, food trucks, dog contests, raffles and more!

The annual bow-WOW-walk is critical to funding the lifesaving mission of the Charlottesville-Albemarle SPCA. Thank YOU for making a difference in the lives of animals in your community and beyond!
