Paw Prints Pet Fest & 5k

We're excited to be heading to Paw Prints Pet Fest & 5k — come see Sniff & Shift there!

The Paw Prints PetFest & 5K returns to Smithville Park in Eastampton, NJ on Saturday, October 10, 2026, pairing a morning race with a pet festival — all of it benefiting the Friends of the Burlington County Animal Shelter and their work saving the lives of homeless animals and promoting adoption.

The timed 5K runs off-road along a wooded trail, and you can run it or walk it at your own pace. Dogs are welcome on the course as long as they're leashed — and cats in strollers are officially allowed too, which tells you everything about the spirit of this one.

Around the race, the PetFest side of the day brings sponsors and vendors out to the park, so there's plenty to browse between the starting gun and the ride home.

Registration and full race details are on the official event page.

We're officially heading to this one. Add it to your plans, and check our Event Calendar for everything else coming up.
