Merced Paws on Patrol Fun Run
The Merced Police Department K9 Association organizes a fundraising Fun Run and Walk at Lake Yosemite on October 17, 2026. The event aims to raise financial support for the K9 Association and to increase public awareness of canine teams in public safety, service, and community engagement. It also seeks to strengthen partnerships with local organizations and encourage youth involvement through canine-centered activities.
Participants may choose from the following distances:
- 1 Mile with or without a dog
- 5K with or without a dog
- 10K with or without a dog
Awards include custom medals for first, second, and third place males and females in the 5K and 10K age groups: 10 and under, 11 to 14, 15 to 18, 19 to 29, 30 to 39, 40 to 49, 50 to 59, and 60 plus. The 1 Mile event awards custom medals to first and second place males and females. A finisher's medal is provided to non-age-group winners. The first 100 registered participants with a dog receive a custom dog tag.
Early registration opens June 1, 2026 and closes August 17, 2026. Fees vary by distance and by whether a dog accompanies the entrant. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
