Fire Hydrant 5K & Expo

Register today at FH5K.org!

Get ready to lace up your sneakers and leash up your dog because the annual Fire Hydrant 5K is back! This fun-filled event supports NOCO Humane and our mission of providing care and shelter for animals in northern Colorado.

Join us on Saturday, May 30, 2026, at Spring Canyon Park in Fort Collins for a feel-good morning of fitness, fresh air, and a tail-wagging fun. Whether you're a runner, walker, or just love animals, the Fire Hydrant 5K has something for everyone.

Fire Hydrant 5K offers three race categories including our competitive run, lower-stakes fun run, and casual walking wave.

Racers and the general public are invited to browse our Pet Expo featuring over 50 pet-friendly local businesses, race entry not required.

Whether you're serious about helping animals in need by participating in our fundraising challenges, looking to start the summer off in shape, or just looking for a morning walk (with human and non-human companions alike), you're supporting animals in need, on mile a time.

So let's make a difference and support animals in need. Gather your friends and family, whether four legs or fewer, and sign up today for the Fire Hydrant 5K.

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
