28th Annual Run With The Big Dogs -2025 

Registration Now Open! (Click Here) 

April 19th 10:30 a.m. -2:00 p.m. 

Lower Ross Park Pavilion

 

 

Run with the Big Dogs is a 2k or 5k walk/run. RWTBD began in 1997 as a way to raise funds to help the Pocatello Animal Shelter get a much needed new building. In February 2015, with the help of the citizens of Pocatello, that goal was met. However, all involved in RWTBD had so much fun that we decided to continue to hold the event annually.

 

All funds raised by the event are used for those that are housed at the Pocatello Animal Shelter which directly benefit through programs such as the Second Chance Fund, Pocatello Pets 4 Vets, and Katie's Old Friends.

​

Participants may walk/run with or without a dog or in memory of a beloved pet. Those registered by March 31st receive a t-shirt and a "doggy bag" full of freebies. There will be a raffle at 12:30 p.m., those registered must be present to win. 

​

The day includes vendors, a silent auction, splash pools for dogs and refreshments for both humans and dogs.
