Furry 5K Fun Run and Walk

Get ready for a "pawsitively" delightful day at the annual Furry 5K Fun Run and Walk, taking place on Sunday, June 14, 2026, in the stunning Seward Park, Seattle, WA. This beloved Seattle tradition invites runners and walkers of all paces, and especially their furry companions, to a vibrant 5K course. Enjoy a scenic route around beautiful Seward Park, offering a refreshing experience for both two-legged and four-legged participants. Historically, typical race day conditions in mid-June feature pleasant highs around 71°F and comfortable lows near 54°F, with a minimal 4% chance of precipitation, creating ideal weather for a fun outdoor event.

What truly sets the Furry 5K apart is its heartwarming mission: all proceeds directly benefit the Seattle Animal Shelter, supporting crucial veterinary care and vital programs for animals in need. Since its inception in 1999, this event has raised over $1.2 million, making a tangible difference in the lives of countless shelter pets. Along the course, water will be readily available for both human and canine participants, ensuring everyone stays hydrated. The atmosphere is consistently described as joyful and energetic, creating a strong sense of community among animal lovers.

The excitement doesn't end at the finish line! After completing the 3.1-mile journey, stick around for the lively "Paws in the Park" celebration. This post-race event features entertainment, engaging vendors, delicious food trucks, and a wildly entertaining pet costume contest. Whether you're aiming for a personal best or enjoying a leisurely stroll with your best friend, the Furry 5K Fun Run and Walk promises a memorable day filled with camaraderie and a chance to make a positive impact for Seattle's animals.
