5K Paws for a Cause and 1M Strut your Mutt at Dogapalooza

Join the Humane Society of Elkhart County (HSEC) at Ox Bow Park in Goshen, IN for a timed trail run/walk in a pleasant natural environment. Runners, walkers, and their dogs will be gathering to enjoy time together, activities, great music, and sharing with others. After the race is over, stay a while for Elkhart County Parks’ Dogapalooza! Enjoy dog-themed vendors and activities, great food trucks, a beer garden, and so much more!

Don’t have a dog to bring to the event? Consider adopting one! Take a look at all of our adoptable pups here!

Proceeds from this event will be directed toward the daily operations of the Humane Society of Elkhart County. In 2023, over 11,500 animals of over 35 species were impacted by HSEC.
