5K Pet Walk & Race Happening In Old Town On April 24th

Get ready to get out and stretch those legs- all six of them! The Animal Orphanage of Old Town is putting on their 2022 5k Pet Run/Walk coming up Sunday, April 24th.

Things kick off at the Old Town Orono YMCA at 9 AM.

Usually, this event is timed but things will be different this year and will not include timing.

More Than Just A Race/Walk

What will make this race a little extra special is offering a bit of a spectacle for participants to be a part of. Participants can add a little extra to the run by throwing on costumes, for the humans or the pets.

Registration Details

This event is for the whole family- mom, dad, sister, brother, and 4-legged furry family members, too. Want to take part? Registration begins at 9 AM and the run/walk begins at 10:30 AM. Individual walkers and runners can participate for $20. Families (which are 2 to 5 registrants) can participate for $30. If you plan on bringing your pet, you must have your pet leashed.
