Organiser's Description
Paws in Motion 5K: THREE Years of Tails, Trails & Triumphs!
Three years. Countless wagging tails. Real impact for animals in need.
The Paws in Motion 5K is back for its THIRD year in 2026, and were ready to celebrate how far weve comeand how much more we can do together! What began as a simple community run has grown into a powerful way to support local animals and the people who love them.
Heres what your steps have already made possible:
2024: We raised $4,000, which was used to purchase a dental cleaning machine for JPAWS. This allows the shelter to now perform necessary dental procedures in-houseimproving animal health while cutting costly outsourced expenses.
2025: Thanks to your incredible support, proceeds helped donate 10,000 pounds of pet food to the Westbank Food Pantry at JPAWS, providing local families in need with food for their furry companions.
And nowits time for Year Three.
Whether youre a seasoned runner, a casual walker, or letting your pup lead the way, every step you take helps create more success stories. Expect a high-energy morning packed with raffles, refreshments, photo-worthy moments, and a fun, family- (and pet-) friendly atmosphere.
