Paw Prints PetFest & 5K
Paw Prints PetFest & 5K takes place at Smithville Park in Eastampton, New Jersey on October 10, 2026. The event centers on a timed off road 5K course that winds through a wooded trail. Participants may choose to run or walk the course.
Distances offered:
- 3.1 Miles: 5K run for adults, youth, and virtual participants
- 1 Mile: 5K Walk (walking only)
Race entrants may run or walk with a dog or a cat in a stroller; dogs must be leashed. At the start, individual runners begin first, followed by runners with dogs, and then walkers with or without a dog or cat in a stroller. A virtual run option is available that is completed independently and is not part of the in person event; virtual registrants are not eligible for event t shirts.
Registration for the listed events opens on January 11, 2026 and closes on April 30, 2026. The published registration fee for each listed entry is $20.00.
Proceeds support advanced medical care for shelter animals, trap neuter vaccinate return programs, behavioral training, foster care, and a surrender diversion program. The day includes festival activities such as food trucks, a band, Tito's Beverage Garden, and a raffle basket tent. In person registrants receive a standard cotton event shirt; registrants who raise $100 excluding the registration fee receive a performance style dri fit shirt.
