Street Dog Dash 5K - Event description
Street Dog Dash 5K is an annual charity 5K run scheduled for April 24, 2027, at Etowah River Park. The event is presented by a registered 501(c)(3) organization and is identified as the ninth annual running of this event.
The event’s stated mission is to fundraise for local rescues in the metro Atlanta area and to raise awareness and support for international animal welfare programs. Funds and attention from the event benefit both local shelters and established international organizations.
Legacy beneficiaries named by the organizer include the Soi Dog Foundation and the Cherokee Animal Shelter. The Soi Dog Foundation, established in 2003 in Phuket, works on spaying and neutering street animals, rescue, vaccination, medical treatment, sheltering, and adoption for animals that cannot be returned to their territory. Cherokee Animal Shelter has served its community since 2017 and focuses on shelter services, education, and outreach. Additional 2026 beneficiaries listed include Atlanta Lab Rescue, Semper Fi Legacy Rescue, Shelters X Shelves Rescue, You Lucky Dog Rescue, and Adopt A Golden Atlanta.
The organizing group also highlights volunteer and adoption activities, fosters support for local shelters, and shares practical animal welfare information such as paw protection and heat-safety tips for dogs. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
