Howl-o-ween Paws For A Cause

About the Event

Join us at Buckeye Lake for the 3rd Annual Howl-o-ween Paws for a Cause 5K Walk/Run, a one-of-a-kind event that combines fitness, fun, and furry friends for a great cause! This isn't just any race—it's a race with your dog! Bring your four-legged pal and dress them up in their best Halloween costume for a chance to win our doggy costume contest. Whether you're walking, jogging, or running, you'll be doing it alongside fellow dog lovers in a festive, Halloween-themed atmosphere.

After the race, stick around for a variety of fun activities, including a bob for apples contest, a basket raffle with exciting prizes, and more! It's the perfect way to spend a fall day while supporting The American Service Dog Foundation. Every dollar raised goes toward training and donating service dogs to individuals with disabilities, making a real difference in their lives.

Don't miss out on this howling good time! Register now, grab your dog, and get ready to make this Halloween one to remember!
