Paws Colinas 5k-9 Presented by Las Colinas Association

Get ready to lace up your running shoes and leash up your furry best friend for the Paws Colinas 5K-9 Presented by Las Colinas Association, taking place on October 24, 2026, in Irving, TX! This annual event, now in its fourth year, invites two and four-legged enthusiasts to team up for a memorable 5K run/walk through the scenic Las Colinas Urban Center. The course is largely flat, offering picturesque views and shaded sections along the Campion Trail, making it suitable for all fitness levels. Typical race day conditions in late October in Irving see comfortable highs around 77°F and lows around 55°F, with only a 12% chance of precipitation, providing ideal running weather for both humans and their canine companions.

What truly sets the Paws Colinas 5K-9 apart is its unique dog-friendly atmosphere, allowing runners to register with one dog (categorized by small or large) or participate as a human-only entry. All canine participants must be licensed, vaccinated, and on a standard non-retractable leash, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone. Beyond the scenic route, participants can look forward to a vibrant post-race party held at The Plaza at Toyota Music Factory. This celebration includes a live DJ, celebrity emcee, delicious food and drinks, complimentary pet treats, a pup and human costume contest, and fabulous swag giveaways.

This lively 5K not only provides a fantastic opportunity to stay active with your pet but also supports a great cause, benefiting the Irving Schools Foundation in its mission to combat childhood obesity. Runners consistently praise the event for its festive community spirit and the chance to create unforgettable memories with their beloved dogs. Custom medals are awarded to all finishers, with trophies for top overall and age group winners, as well as the best-dressed pup and parent duo. Join in for a tail-wagging good time that blends fitness, fun, and canine companionship.
