Mandy’s Angels Paws for a Cause 5K
Join us for a tail-wagging good time at the Mandy’s Angels Paws for a Cause 5K! This dog-friendly run/walk takes place on Saturday, September 12, 2026, at Hesky Park in Meredith, NH. Lace up your sneakers and bring your four-legged friends as we raise funds to provide life-saving diabetic alert dogs to children with Type 1 Diabetes. Whether you run, walk, or cheer from the sidelines or vitually, your participation helps support our mission at Mandy’s Angels Diabetic Service Dogs Incorporated. Note: Limit of 1 dog per runner/walker
We have also added a virtual race! Participate in this event, but from your own course wherever you are!
We will be providing you with RaceJoy as part of the official race experience. You will be mailed the bib and shirt. Please note: You must register for the virtual race by Friday Sept. 4, 2026 so that we can send you your bib & shirt on time.
Come make a difference—one pawprint at a time!
Please note that the first 50 registrants will receive a Mandy’s Angels Paws for a Cause 5K race shirt!
