PAWS Zombie Walk & Furry 5k

The PAWS Zombie Walk & Furry 5k is an annual 5k run/walk held in Middletown, Ohio. This event incorporates Halloween costumes and dogs into its activities. The start and finish lines are located at Gravel Road Brewing Co. on 1st Avenue. The event is geared towards dog walkers, runners, and individuals seeking a Halloween-themed outing rather than a competitive race environment. The course follows the local bike path and downtown sidewalks, making it suitable for both runners and walkers. Participants are welcome to bring dogs, though they are not required unless aiming for the dog awards. These awards are given to the top three dogs in both under-50-pound and over-50-pound categories. Additionally, the event offers finisher awards for pets, goodie bags, raffles, and costume contests for dogs, humans, and matching dog-owner pairs.
