Join Faithful Friends Animal Society for our
12th Annual Faithful Friends 5K Run/Walk & Mutt Mile!
Sunday, September 25, 2022
Run with us on September 25th at Bellevue State Park!
You're invited to our 12TH ANNUAL 5K & Mutt Mile In-Person and Virtual Event on Sunday, September 25th at Bellevue State Park. Not only is this our biggest fundraising event of the year, it's also the LARGEST dog-friendly race in Delaware! Bring your whole family (pups included!) to this beautiful and scenic cross-country 5K course timed by Nova Timing Systems. Prefer a more leisurely walk? Sign up for our in-person or virtual Mutt Mile. New this year is a Youth Mutt Mile Run. This run is for young racers (between ages 8-11) who are not quite ready for the 5K. Children 7 and younger can participate in the kids dash for free.
Cheer on the racers as they cruise through the finish line then let the festivities begin! We're excited to have WJBR and Kona Ice as part of the event. Don't forget to visit our adoptable dogs in the meet-n-greet areas! Proceeds from the family-fun event support Faithful Friends operations, animal shelter, and vital community programs!
