About this race
Join Animal Humane and hundreds of pet lovers for our signature event, Doggie Dash & Dawdle, recognized as Albuquerque's must-attend pet event.
Participate in a 5K dash, 1-mile dawdle, or enjoy our exciting Doggie Carnival, Watering Bowl featuring local brews, and Barketplace filled with local vendors. You can even stop by the Rent-A-Dog Tent to meet (and rent!) adoptable dogs. It's New Mexico's biggest party for pets & people for 44 years running!
Help us reach our fundraising goal of $200,000 to benefit the wonderful dogs & cats in our care and ensure they find forever homes. Every donation counts!
It's free to attend, spectate, shop the Barketplace, and enjoy the dog park! There are fees for our Carnival, Watering Bowl, run/walk, and Rent-A-Dog Tent, which can be paid in person at the event.
Vendor opportunities for this race are open! Please contact [email protected] for more information.
