About the race
The Dash for Dogs 5k Run or Walk is an annual event held in Lewiston, Maine, supporting local dogs in need. Participants can run or walk the 5-kilometer course along the scenic Androscoggin Riverwalk path, starting at the Humane Society on Strawberry Avenue. Unique to this event, runners may bring their dogs, provided they are vaccinated and on non-flex leashes.
The race offers several participation options, including running or walking with or without a dog, virtual participation, and a free category for children under eight (no dogs allowed). The event features prizes for top finishers, best dressed pets, and raffle giveaways, creating a fun and community-focused atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
