Pup-a-Go 5k Hike/run

The Pup-A-Go 5k Hike/Run is an annual event held at Papago Park in Phoenix, Arizona, featuring a 5K course that loops counterclockwise around the park. Participants can run, jog, or hike with their dogs or solo, with an emphasis on community and respect for all attendees. Dogs must be leashed and vaccinated, with doggie waste bags provided.

The course is well-marked and flat, suitable for competitive runners aiming for a personal record. Registration includes a Pup-A-Go sticker, dog bandana, and commemorative t-shirt. Proceeds support Home Fur Good, a no-kill animal shelter.

The event offers free parking and an aid station at the start. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
