Join us October 12th for a spooky doggone good time! Kanine Social is excited to bring you our third annual Hops, Hounds and Halloween 5k to support the Jacksonville Humane Society and dog costume contest. Our last 5k and fun race had over 250 participants, lets top that! Walk or run the course and make sure to dress up your pup for the costume contest! This is a dog friendly run, so bring your dog to run or walk with you or let your dog hangout at Kanine Social’s private dog park with a friend while you race.
New this year, we will be offering a runners only wave to kick off the race. So if you are looking to PR without your furry friend, you are going to have an open course to hit those goals!
Before getting to the start line, we want to see those costumes! Judging will take place at 8:00 am and the race will start directly after. The courses will start and finish at Kanine Social and the 5K will consist of a marked 3.1 mile course with dog lanes and water stops. We will be scoring all winners based off ‘chip time’. All runners will receive an official ‘chip time’ based off the time they individually cross the start line to their finish.
Make sure to stay around after the race for the after party and awards ceremony! There will be live music, local vendors and food trucks for all to enjoy.
