Pawfest
Pawfest is a community running and pet festival held in the Village of Endicott. The event features multiple athletic distances and pet-focused activities centered around Park Street. Participants can choose from several events:
- 5k Run
- 1k For the Dogs Run/Walk
- Lil' Pups Kids' Fun Run
The 5k course takes runners through the local village streets. For those participating in the 1k dog run or walk, proof of current rabies vaccination is required for all canine participants. In addition to the races, the event hosts a Pup Pageant where owners can enter their dogs into various categories.
The festival atmosphere include live music, food trucks, and a variety of local vendors. Demonstrations such as a Victory Troupe performance and a Southern Tier Martial Arts display are scheduled throughout the day.
Awards are presented for the 5k race across multiple categories, including overall male and female winners, masters, and age divisions ranging from 11-under to 70+. Participants have the option to pick up their packets the day before the event at Crooked Mouth Brewery or on the morning of the races at the event site. The event benefits Team HopeFull and Pawlandias, supporting individuals with developmental disabilities. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
