Pupkin 5pice 5k 2026 is scheduled for October 31, 2026, at Hogan's Fountain in Cherokee Park, located at 745 Cochran Hill Road, Louisville, KY. The event is part of the River City Races Run the 502 series; participants who complete six races on the series calendar receive a Run the 502 Finisher Medal with charms for each race finished.
Available event formats include:
- 5k in person

Race entry includes a gender specific short sleeve Pupkin Spice tech shirt, a finisher medal, and a finisher certificate with time and place. Pet-focused items and activities include a free pet bandana while supplies last, a pet parade, and a pet costume contest. Raising at least $150 for the charity partner Friends of Metro Animal Services Louisville results in a refunded entry fee.
Awards are planned for top finishers overall and in age groups, including top three male and female overall, first male and female master and grandmaster, and top three male and female in multiple age divisions from 9 and under through 80 and over. The event also collects donations for the Metro Animal Services Pet Food Pantry; donors receive a coupon for a free Jeff's Donuts. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
