Fast & Furriest 5K - Tempe
The Fast & Furriest 5K is a dog friendly race and pet festival organized by Wiggles & Wags. It is scheduled for October 10th 2026 at Kiwanis Park North Field in Tempe. The event combines timed running, a family fun run, and dog racing.
Event components include:
- 5K professionally timed
- 1 mile fun run and walk
- Breed specific Dog Dash heats on a 40 ft track
The Dog Dash features breed specific heats that sprint down a short track and progress to a final heat to determine the Fastest Dog in Tempe. Runners may participate competitively or alongside their dogs.
Following the races, a Pet Fest features local vendors, rescue partners with adoptable dogs, and interactive games and activities aimed at families and community members. The festival setting brings vendor booths, adoption opportunities, and activity areas together in the park.
Opportunities for vendors, sponsors, and volunteers are part of the event structure to support the race, dog dash championships, and festival operations. Information about those opportunities is managed by the organizer. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
