Race Description
GhostHead Productions in partnership with Home Fur Good for our 2nd Annual Pup-A-Go 5k held at Papago Park in Phoenix, AZ! Hikers and runners are welcome to run, jog or hike with their furry ones or run solo. We ask that other runners respect the hikers and their dogs while out on the course, as this is a gathering for everyone in the community.
A portion of the registration fee will be donated to Home Fur Good a no kill animal shelter in support of our tail wagging friends!
Event will take place rain or shine and NO refunds for any cancelations.
Please make sure your furry friend/s is vaccinated and updated on their shots. And they must be leashed at all times while on course as well as throughout the entire event. Doggie poop bags will be provided at the start of the event, so please make sure to pick up after your furry friends.
