The University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine is excited for another year of the Hoof N Woof 5k! The race will start at 9:30 am on Saturday, April 5th, 2024, right outside the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine building on Fitch Avenue on the St. Paul campus. Runners and walkers of all ages and abilities are encouraged to participate, and leashed pets are more than welcome! We hope you'll hang around after the race, for bakery items, coffee, booths from local businesses, and various awards for the runners and their furry companions. Parking is available in the Gortner Avenue Parking Garage.

Registration for the race is $30, and includes a t-shirt, goodie bag, and a free food ticket! Packet pick-up will start on Saturday at 8:00 am. There is no same day registration.

This year’s Hoof N Woof benefits Minnesota Association for Pets in Crisis, an organization supporting pet owners who are experiencing abuse. MAPC provides temporary housing and care to pets belonging to victims of domestic violence while their owners get back on their feet. Their goal is to ultimately reunite pets with their families.
