Paws in the Park

Paws In The Park is a family-friendly 5k race and pet walk event, and a celebration at the “Finish Line” of our summer FUND-race for Longmont Humane Society. Admission is free, so come cheer for the runners and fundraisers, enjoy a pancake breakfast, and live music from Weirdgrass, an eclectic and entertaining local band! Registration for the race or walk can be done on site, and your registration includes breakfast, one mimosa, and an event shirt.

Race the course – or go for a casual stroll, around Roger’s Grove Park from Boulder County Fairgrounds. Whether you’re racing to win or walking with your four-legged companion, Paws in the Park is fun for everyone!

Make a difference in the lives of Boulder County’s homeless animals and register today! All proceeds go directly to benefit the animals of Longmont Humane Society. 

Longmont Humane Society relies on the support of our community to save thousands of animals each year. Thanks to our dedicated volunteers, generous donations, and enthusiastic event participants, we have transformed the lives of countless animals and people.

To help us continue our mission, we invite you to join our Fund Race! By participating or creating your own fundraiser, you can make a significant impact on the animals at LHS. Then, join us at Paws in the Park to celebrate your success!
