PawFit Fun Run is a running race on October 24, 2026 in Maryville, TN, with an entry fee of $25.
From the Organizer
Foothills K9 Training and Crossfit Pistol Creek are excited to announce the FIRST ANNUAL PawFit Fun Run on October 24th!
Whether you’re a dog lover, into fitness, or just looking for a fun way to support a great cause, this event is for you!
We’ll start the morning at 9:00 AM with a FREE Doggy Costume Contest that is open to the public and their personal dogs! Dress your pup up in their best costume and compete for fun prizes while showing off their personality. Then at 10:00 AM, we’ll hit the course for the PawFit Fun Run! Registration is just $25 and includes an event T-shirt.
Friends of Blount County Animal Center will be bringing adoptable dogs that are searching for their forever homes. Participants in the fun run may choose to run or walk with one of the adoptable dogs, bring their own dog, or even participate solo—whatever you're most comfortable with! It's a fun way to give these pups a great day out while helping them get seen by potential adopters and, hopefully, find their forever homes.
100% of the proceeds raised will benefit Friends of Blount County Animal Center and help support the animals in their care.
• DJ on site
• Vendors galore
• Adoptable dogs
• Costume contest
• Fun run for all fitness levels
📍 Location:
CrossFit Pistol Creek
⏰ Registration closes September 10th — no shirt orders can be guaranteed after that date.
Bring your family, friends, and dogs for a morning full of fun, community, and helping shelter dogs find the homes they deserve.
Mark your calendars and help us make the first annual PawFit Fun Run one to remember! Every step you take helps a shelter dog get one step closer to home. #CLEARTHESHELTER
