Paws Rescue League welcomes you to join us for a fun, family friendly 5k. And of course, our dogs are our family so they’re welcome too! The 5k will take place at the beautiful Salmon Brook Park in Granby, CT. Race Day check in will begin at 8am and the race will begin at 9am (there will be an optional bib pickup on 8/29/25 at Roaring Acres Alpacas in Suffield, CT from 4pm-7pm). Day-of check in will take place at the pavilions at Salmon Brook Park.
Dog Info: If your pup is interested in joining the 5k, they can be signed up directly through Paws Rescue League for a $10 donation. Once humans are signed up for the race, information will be communicated via email regarding dog sign ups. The first 75 dogs to register will receive a bandana! In addition to the 5k, the $10 donation per dog will also include access to the dog swim from 10am-12pm! All dogs must be leashed at all times except during the dog swim (fenced in). Dogs can register on the day of the event as well (though bandana not guaranteed), or can separately purchase the dog swim upon arrival.

All proceeds from the race will benefit Paws Rescue League, Inc. and will help rescue dogs, pay for urgent medical care, etc. Additionally, there will be vendors, food, and lots of pups at the event! Depending on availability, PRL may also have some adoptable pups with us to cheer on the participants!!
Kids 12 and under are able to participate for free and do not need to register in advance (t-shirts & official times are only available for paid entrants, and t-shirts are only guaranteed if registered prior to 7/15/25). The event will take place rain or shine, and registration fees are a non-refundable donation to Paws Rescue League, Inc.
Paws Rescue League’s mission is to save dogs that are abused, neglected, or discarded. Most of the dogs we save are in kill shelters, facing euthanasia due to no fault of their own. These dogs are most times, young, healthy and good dogs who deserve a second chance. We are an all-inclusive, foster-based, 501(c)(3) dog rescue and strive to find the best home possible for each dog we save. We believe each and every dog deserves a fighting chance and a family of their own. We wish to give these dogs and our adopters many happy and fulfilling years with each other!
Please note: This event is open to everyone (all ages and locations!), however Paws Rescue League, Inc. does not currently adopt dogs to MA or ME residents due to strict quarantine laws set by the state.
