Paws and Give Thanks Rescue Run 5K 2026

The race.

The Paws and Give Thanks Rescue Run takes place November 7, 2026, at Heritage Park in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Participants can choose between a 5K fun run (3.1 miles) or a 1-mile fun run/walk, both starting at 8:00 AM. The event supports local rescue organizations through registration fees and an on-site donation drive seeking dog food, treats, blankets, towels, dog beds, leashes, collars, toys, cleaning supplies, and pet store gift cards, with a $5,000 fundraising goal. A Paws & Give Thanks Market will be available for shopping. Monetary donations are accepted through the race registration page.
