Where is the event?
Everywhere! The Paws for a Cause in-person event will be held on the recreational trail next to Shelter #7 at Riverside Park (1301 Riverside Blvd, Sioux City, IA), on August 24th at 10:00 am. The walk and run will begin and end at Shelter #7. Check-in begins at 8:30 am. Not in our neck of the woods? No problem! Run virtually from wherever you are!

How does a virtual run work?
Due to the popularity of last year's virtual run, we are offering this as a participation option again for 2024. This means you'll have ten days to go for your run or doggie dash in your own location any time between August 12th and 24th, 2024. The first 100 registrants will get t-shirts and swag bags and those will be shipped to you before the start date so you can wear your shirt out on your run. After signing up, you'll also get a link to the event's Facebook group where you can post pics of you on your run or with your four-legged friends on your doggie dash.

What is a doggie dash?
The one-mile doggie dash is an opportunity to get out and do something healthy with your four-legged friend! No need to dash, you can also stroll.

Can I walk the one mile without a dog?
Absolutely!

Can my dog and I do the 5K?
Sure!

Will there be awards and prizes?
Yes! There be a prize for the fastest 5k runner & for the cutest dressed pup!!

Does my dog need to be on a leash?
Yes. For the safety of the dogs and participants, we must insist that all dogs remain on a leash for the duration of their time at Paws for a Cause.
