The Mutt Strut, set for April 26, 2026, in scenic Waterbury, Vermont, invites runners and their beloved canine companions to tackle a delightful 3-mile course. This highly anticipated event, a long-standing tradition organized by Central Vermont Runners, is more than just a race; it's a celebration of the bond between humans and their dogs, all while supporting a worthy cause. Held within the beautiful Little River State Park, the 10:00 a.m. start promises a memorable morning surrounded by Vermont's natural beauty, with typical race day conditions seeing comfortable highs around 57°F and lows near 38°F, and only a 19% chance of precipitation.

What makes the Mutt Strut truly unique is its inclusive atmosphere, welcoming both two-legged and four-legged participants. The course offers a "fun" experience through the park's picturesque landscapes. Refreshments are thoughtfully provided for both people and dogs at the finish line, ensuring everyone is well-cared for after their effort. Historically, the race has supported animal welfare organizations, with recent events benefiting Potter's Angels Rescue, highlighting its commitment to helping animals in need. Prizes are awarded across various categories, including by dog weight and owner age/gender, adding a friendly competitive spirit.

Whether you're looking for a leisurely stroll with your furry best friend or a spirited run through a quintessential Vermont setting, the Mutt Strut delivers. It's an excellent opportunity to enjoy the outdoors, engage with the local running and dog-loving community, and contribute to a meaningful cause. Remember to bring your leashed and vaccinated dog to join in the excitement, or simply come and enjoy the camaraderie of this cherished annual event.
