🐾 Join Us for the 6th Annual Heroes on the Run!
Every step you take changes a dog’s life. Your registration helps give dogs from around the world and right here in Central Oregon a second chance. This year, our goal is to raise $100,000 so we can say “yes” to even more dogs in need.
🏃♂️ About the Event
Get ready for Street Dog Hero’s biggest event of the year — a dog-friendly 5K, 10K, and Kids Mini-Run in beautiful Riverbend Park. From 9 AM to 2 PM, we’ll run, walk, and celebrate our shared love for dogs, while funding rescue and expanding our life-saving spay & neuter clinics here at home and around the world.
❤️ Run, Walk, Give Back.
- Choose your distance: 5K, 10K, or Kids Mini-Run
- Enjoy a morning and early afternoon: packed with a Beer Garden, Live Entertainment, Kid Zone, Raffles, and Adoptable Dogs ready to meet their new families
- Bring along a PAWticipant: leashed, friendly dogs welcome!
Whether you’re racing for a personal best, strolling with friends, or showing off your four-legged teammate, you’ll be part of a community coming together to help dogs everywhere.
