From the Organizer
Monroe County Friends of Animals (MCFA) is sponsoring their third annual 5K and 1-mile walk/run. MCFA is a dedicated non-profit organization committed to providing for and continuously improving the health, happiness, and fortune of homeless and abandoned dogs and cats in Monroe County. Join us for this family friendly event that brings together animal lovers, runners, walkers, and community members to support this very worthy cause. Take your choice of a 5K run or a one mile walk/run with your dog on a paved path around the lake at Kefauver Park in Madisonville. Dogs are encouraged, but not required to participate! Event timing will be provided by East Coast Adventures.
Medals will be awarded to all participants with special recognition for the top 3 male and female finishers. All participants will receive an event T-shirt and a SWAG bag. If you adopted your dog from Monroe County Animal Shelter you will receive a special Alumni Bandana for your dog. Packet pick-up begins at 7:30 am. 5K race start time is 9:00 am. 1-mile walk/run starts at 9:30 am.
Please note that Kefauver Park is not closed to other guests on our event date. We may encounter other runners or walkers on race day.
Registrations received after 8/24/2026 MAY not receive an event shirt; we plan to order extras, but we're up against a lead time deadline for the shirts.
