Pawfest 5K

Pawfest

Pawfest is a community pet festival held in Endicott, New York on June 7, 2026, centered on running and activities for dogs and families. The event combines road races, a dog run/walk, a kids fun run, a pup pageant, vendors, food trucks, and live music along Park Street and through parts of the village.

Distances and main running options include:

• 5K through the Village of Endicott
• 1K For the Dogs run/walk
• Lil' Pups Kids Race

The 1K For the Dogs requires proof of current rabies vaccination for participating dogs. The pup pageant accepts entries in multiple categories such as Best Smile, Best Dressed, Best Trick, Cutest Couple, and Best Rescue Story; entrants may register for up to two categories and check in at the event. Vendor spaces are organized and reserved by registration, with a specified space size and set up and breakdown times noted for vendors.

The event benefits Team HopeFull and Pawlandias, and includes options for participants to create individual or team fundraising pages tied to registration. The 5K has awards by overall, masters, and age divisions, with prize and raffle ticket details for winners and junior age division prizes sponsored by a local zoo. Packet pick up is scheduled the day before at the Endicott Visitors Center and on the morning of the event on Park Street. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
