Pawfest

Lace up your running shoes and leash up your furry friend for the inaugural Pawfest on July 19, 2026, in the charming village of Endicott, NY. This exciting event offers a flat 5K run through the scenic streets of Endicott, perfect for runners seeking a fast course or a pleasant stroll. For those who want to share the experience with their canine companions, a lively 1K dog run/walk is available, with all participating pups requiring proof of current rabies vaccination. Typical race day conditions in mid-July feature comfortable highs around 80°F and lows near 61°F, with a modest 17% chance of precipitation.

Starting and finishing on Park Street, Pawfest is more than just a race; it's a vibrant pet festival designed for the whole family. Enjoy live music, delicious offerings from food trucks, and a variety of vendors. The festivities extend to a delightful "pup pageant" and a special "Lil' Pups Kids Race," ensuring entertainment for all ages and species. This heartwarming event proudly benefits Team HopeFull, which supports individuals with Prader-Willi Syndrome and other developmental disabilities, and Pawlandias, dedicated to making special needs dogs feel cherished. Join the Endicott community for a day of fitness, fun, and giving back!
