SERVING THE GREAT LAKES BAY REGION IN MICHIGAN
2027 - Fast & Furriest 5K Run/Walk 🏁
Last year was unforgettable. Run for a Reason. Walk for a Cause.
Come join us as we celebrate our love for animals while supporting GLBAS efforts to rescue, care for, and rehome abandoned and homeless cats and dogs. Funds raised help cover vital expenses such as veterinary care, food, shelter, and other necessities that give animals the opportunity for a healthier future and a loving home.
Whether you're racing for a personal best, enjoying a leisurely walk, or simply soaking up the atmosphere, this is one event you won't want to miss. Dogs are welcome and encouraged to participate alongside their humans! Make plans now to be part of a community tradition that's growing bigger, better, and more impactful every year. 🐾❤️🏁
As we look ahead to Fast & Furriest on Saturday, May 8, 2027, take a look back at our 2026 event to see why this race has become a favorite community tradition. Stay tuned for updates, registration information, and more!
