From the Organizer
Registration/Check-in begins at 7:00 am. The run will begin promptly at 8:00 am.
Overview
Howe2Run is hosting a Fun Run / Walk on October 3, 2026, at 8 am to support Wag-O-Ween. There will be 1-mile route and a 5K route, and you can choose to run or walk - this will not be a timed event. Stick around afterwards for a Wag-O-Ween kickoff party with Wag-O-Ween vendors. Bring your own dog, or sign up to run or walk with a shelter pup. Photographers will be on site to take pictures with the dogs!
Run or Walk
Registration spots are $30 in advance or $35 on the day of the event.
Registration is from 7:00 to 8:00 am.
If you would like to "borrow" a shelter dog to run or walk with, select the Shelter Dog add on after selecting your ticket and we will do our best to match you with a shelter dog. (Subject to availability of shelter dogs)
Volunteer
If you don't want to run or walk, you can volunteer instead! We'll need volunteers beginning at 6:30am to check in participants, hand out water, play with puppies and more! If you have questions about volunteering, email us at volunteer@wagoween.org. Check back later for volunteer sign-up!
Vendors
We need Wag-O-Ween vendors to come out! Wag-O-Ween sponsors of Booth level or up can be a vendor (at no additional cost) at the Fun Run. If you're not Wag-O-Ween sponsor yet, and would like to be, sign up now!
