Knox/Whitley Humane Association 5K Mutt Strut and Dogwalk 2026

The Knox/Whitley Humane Association 5K Mutt Strut and Dogwalk is an in-person run/walk in Williamsburg, Kentucky. It starts at 9:00 AM, with a 5K race as the main distance. A 1-mile Fun Dog Walk is also available, making the event suitable for runners, walkers, and those wishing to share their dog-focused fundraising spirit on the course. Entry begins at $25, with proceeds benefiting the Knox/Whitley Humane Association, also known as the Knox/Whitley Animal Shelter. The 5K follows a quick out-and-back route, identical to the one used for the local Turkey Trot. The shelter provides care and housing for homeless animals awaiting adoption across Knox, Whitley, and Clay counties, in addition to offering spay and neuter services to combat local animal overpopulation. This race has a direct community benefit: each registration aids the organization in its ongoing mission to care for animals and save more lives.
