Event Description

What's everyone barking about? Well, we're back and ready to run (or walk!)

Benton Franklin Humane Society (BFHS) is happy to announce the return of The Fast & the Furriest 5K Walk/Run, after a two-year hiatus. Join the festivities as we gather with supporters and friends to celebrate the bond we share with our furry friends. The event begins at Columbia Point Marina Park in Richland, WA then follows the river trail to Howard Amon park and back. Whether you choose to amble, jog, or race like the wind, we know you'll have a blast!  And all friendly, furry friends are welcome. 

Choose from a 1-Mile or 5K course. Mingle with vendors in the "barking lot" before the race. And yes, we've got a treat or two waiting for you at registration. Gift baskets will be awarded to the first place finisher along with the "furriest" dog.
