The Fast and Furriest 5K presented by the Sanctuary at Haafsville
The event is a 5K run and walk held on May 31, 2026, at Lehigh Parkway, 1600 Park Drive, Allentown, PA 18103. The Sanctuary at Haafsville, a non profit no kill animal rescue based in Breinigsville, is the event organizer and this is the second annual edition.
Registration opens on February 14, 2026. The early registration fee is $35 through late April; the fee increases to $40 after that deadline and there is no race day registration. A custom designed race T shirt is available with a submission deadline of May 20, 2026. The organizer describes the course as fun and provides post race refreshments.
All funds raised will be used for daily care of the animals at the sanctuary, including vetting and medical expenses. The sanctuary reports having rescued over 14,000 animals and placing them in homes. The course will be open to the public and traffic control will be on site. Awards are listed for Overall Male first and second, Overall Female first and second, and age group winners with no duplication of awards. Participants are asked not to bring personal pets so that featured shelter dogs can be the focus. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
