Howl-O-Ween Dash

Join us at McFarland Park for a morning full of fun! The Howl-O-Ween Dash is a family-friendly 5K and 1-Mile Fun Run benefitting the Florence-Lauderdale and Colbert County Animal Shelters. The morning kicks off with a 5K route, followed by a 1-Mile Fun Run that ensures runners, walkers, and furry friends of all ages get their chance to participate, race, and win. You don't have to have a pet to sign up and participate, but pets are heavily encouraged to attend in their best costume to run the race and compete in our pet costume contest! While the pets take center stage, owners are encouraged to join the fun and dress up with their pets. On race morning, we're bringing the community together with: Awards: Open to top runners and petsPet Costume Contest: Dress your furry friend in their best costume! 1st, 2nd, and 3rdplace pets will take home prizesKids' Pumpkin Painting: Festive fun to keep the little ones entertained all morningOn-Site Coffee: Freshly brewed coffee availabl
