Run for BCAWS!

Get ready for a paws-itively amazing event in Blount County that's sure to get tails wagging and hearts racing! Join us for a fantastic day of friendly competition and canine companionship with our unique 5K race and pet-friendly mile walk/run. Humans can sprint to glory in the 5K—sorry pups, humans only this time—while four-legged friends can frolic alongside their owners in the mile event, topped off with a tasty treat at the finish line.

After the racing fun, the "Field of Fun" opens its gates for all dogs to enjoy playtime with obstacle courses and toys, provided they're on their best behavior. Plus, don't miss your chance to win titles like Cutest Dog and Most Like Their Owner in our giveaway contests. T-shirt swag and age group awards await our 5K human runners, while all proceeds go to the amazing Blount County Animal Wellness Society. Don't miss out, and if racing isn't your speed, consider donating to support our four-legged friends!
