All Paws on the Ground 5K : 2026
All Paws on the Ground is a 5K running and walking event held on August 15, 2026 at Uncle John's Cider Mill in Saint Johns, Michigan. The event is part of the Dog Daze of Summer activities on the same day and includes vendors, a family-friendly scavenger hunt, a pup cup station, and a frisbee challenge.
The program includes a separate Young Pups Kids' Dash; that dash is not timed. The 5K course is set within the Uncle John's Cider Mill farm. Dogs on a leash are welcome to participate with their humans, and organizers may ask any dog to step aside if it is having a difficult time.
Registration opens on December 2, 2025 and closes on July 30, 2026. The standard registration fee is $30. Registrations completed by July 30 are guaranteed a race t-shirt and a participation medal; supplies may be available after that date but are not guaranteed. Families who register three or more people at the same time receive a five dollar per person discount.
This event is a fundraiser for a nonprofit agency. Donation options are available, including a $100 donation that provides a free race entry when applied according to the event's donation and registration process; other donation discount levels are offered. There are no refunds. Participation medals are distributed as participants finish the race; there will not be a separate awards ceremony. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
