Fast and Furriest 5k

Fast and Furriest 5k Year 11 is a Rescue One fundraiser in Springfield, Missouri, held in the Rountree neighborhood. It offers a traditional 5k and 1 mile, plus a Human/Dog 5k and a virtual option. The event promotes a family-friendly, animal-loving vibe and welcomes well‑socialized dogs on leashes (no retractables).

The 5k with dog run includes a medal, shirt, and bandanna. All proceeds support Rescue One, with in-person awards for the 5k and an 11th‑annual shirt. Packet pickup is at Tie & Timber Beer Co.

The event is held in a neighborhood setting with an emphasis on community and animal welfare. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
