Scaredy Cat K95K je taký 5K beh/prechádzka pre ľudí a psov, čo sa koná počas Halloweenu na Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine pri Tufts University v North Grafton, Massachusetts. Ten prezenčný beh štartuje v centre kampusu na Westboro Road. Vítané sú všetky tempá, takže kľudne môžu ísť chodci, bežci, rodiny, tímy a jednotlivci s jedným psom. Kostýmy sú vítané, to je jasné. Psy, ktoré prídu na akciu v kampuse, musia mať potvrdenie o platnej vakcíne proti besnote. A len psy sa môžu zúčastniť priamo na mieste v tej časti pre zvieratá. Celá akcia podporuje veterinárnu starostlivosť a všeobecne dobré podmienky pre zvieratá. Výťažok z toho ide pre MVMA Charities, ktorí z toho financujú núdzovú starostlivosť pre opustené a túlavé zvieratá v Massachusetts. A časť ide aj pre Travis Fund z Tufts University, ktorí zas pomáhajú s opaterou nájdených zvierat a domácich miláčikov, ktorých majitelia si nemôžu dovoliť účty za veterinára. Po 5K behu bude aj taký menší veľtrh zdravia a fitness, kde bude hrať hudba, budú tam lokálni predajcovia a ukážky so psami. A samozrejme, bude aj cena pre najlepšie oblečeného psíka. Celý október je k dispozícii aj virtuálna 5K verzia, takže sa môžu zúčastniť aj tí, čo majú zvieratká, ktoré nemôžu ísť na akciu do kampusu.
