McAllen welcomes pets, runners, and families to a fun race
Runners, walkers, and pet owners are invited to participate in the Give a Bark 5th Annual 5K happening in McAllen.
The event welcomes both seasoned runners and casual participants, with leashed pets and strollers allowed on the course to create a friendly and inclusive atmosphere.
Participants will get the option to pick between the 5K run or the one-mile Doggie Dash. The race will be timed by professionals and will feature morning refreshments – including breakfast tacos and coffee – while supplies last. While early registration guarantees an event shirt, attendees can also purchase additional shirts on race day.
The proceeds from the event will go towards benefiting Palm Valley Animal Society, ensuring local pets are well taken care of throughout the year. Parking will also be available near the venue, and attendees are urged to arrive early, packed with waste bags and water for their pups.
The run offers local organizations and pet-focused businesses the opportunity to engage with attendees. Vendors at events like this can leverage business card printing to share information about upcoming programs and services.
The Give a Bark 5th Annual 5K is scheduled for Saturday, January 3, 2026, beginning at 7:00 am at Fireman’s Park, 201 N 1st Street, McAllen. The organizers say the event will start on time, regardless of the weather conditions.
