From the Race Organizer
The Fire Hydrant 5K is a tail-wagging good time where dogs aren’t just allowed—they’re the stars! Join us for a professionally timed 5K or the 1-Mile Dash, just for kids. The course is over paved pathways and loops around the scenic lakes of Huntington Central Park. 5K runners score a race tee, finisher medal, and a dog bandana, while 1-Mile dashers earn a medal of their own. Come sniff around our Dog Expo featuring pet vendors, adoptable dogs, contests, and exciting canine entertainment. Bring the whole pack—it’s fun for every human and hound.
