About the race
All Paws on the Ground 5K is presented by Giving Paws as part of the Dog Daze of Summer weekend at Uncle John's Cider Mill in Saint Johns, Michigan on August 7, 2027. The in-person race follows a trail course with mixed terrain through an apple orchard on the farm.
Registrations open November 1, 2026. In-person registration for the full 5K includes a race t-shirt, sponsor giveaways and access to Dog Daze of Summer event activities. T-shirts and participation medals are guaranteed for registrations completed through July 15, 2027; supplies may remain available after that date. Families who register three or more people at the same time receive a five dollar per person discount. This event is a fundraiser for the nonprofit; there are no refunds.
The virtual 5K run/walk allows participants to walk or run at their own location and on their own date. Virtual entries include mailing of t-shirts and participation medals; shipping costs are included in the virtual registration fee.
Additional Dog Daze of Summer activities run the weekend of August 6 to 8 and include vendors and an UPDog Frisbee Challenge. Dogs on leash are welcome on the 5K course; organizers may ask owners to remove a dog from participation if it is having a rough time. Participation medals are handed out as participants finish; there will not be a formal awards ceremony. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
