Get ready for a spooktacular morning of fitness, fun, and furry friends at the Howl-O-Ween 5K & Dog Walk! Hosted by NC State Vet school community, this Halloween-themed event welcomes runners, walkers, families, students, and dog lovers of all ages -- whether you bring a canine companion or come on your own.

Dress up in your favorite Halloween costume (pets encouraged too!) and enjoy a festive 5K course filled with seasonal spirit, community camaraderie, and plenty of wagging tails. After the race, stick around for costume contests, photo opportunities, and treats for both human and canine competitors.

This event celebrates the human-animal bond while bringing our community together in support of animal health and wellness. No matter your pace or experience level, everyone is welcome to join the fun!

Come run, walk, wag, and celebrate Halloween with us; we can't wait to see you and your four-legged friends at the starting line!
