Richmond SPCA's 21st Annual Dog Jog, 5K and Block Party

Join thousands of animal lovers for the 21st Annual Dog Jog, 5K and Block Party, presented by Holiday Barn Pet Resorts and benefiting the Richmond SPCA! Participate in person or select the "run anywhere" option. 

Expect a day packed  with fun activities for the whole family. The day begins with a chip-timed 5K (3.1 mile) for people only, followed by the Little Paws Fun Run for kids ages 4 to 10 and then a leisurely 1-mile Dog Jog before our Block party, which is free to attend, kicks off at noon. Your participation makes a lifesaving difference to pets in need. All net proceeds aid in our efforts to rescue and rehabilitate homeless animals and to deliver crucial programs to pets and the people who love them.

• An event T-shirt (for the first 1,000 registrants)
• An event medal (for the first 1,000 registered participants)
