We are getting ready for the Tangi Animal Friends Wag, Walk & Run 5K & 1 Mile Dog Walk & Fun Run! Have you signed up yet?? No?? Well, you need to and do it fast because there are only 22 spots left for the 1 mile run/walk with your pup. We will not open up more spots for the 1 Mile once they are all gone. And your pup gets a finisher's medal too!!
There are spots left for the 5K. We may be able to open some spots up on race day, but do you really want to take that chance?? Especially if you want to get the awesome custom finisher's medal?? The 5K is a timed event, and there will be awards for overall finishers and age group winners. Don't delay!
Enter your pup in the best dressed costume & owner & dog look alike contests. Prized are presented by Chewey & Bark Box! There will be instructions on entering these contests in the swag bag.
A few things to remember:
If you are bringing your best pal, please bring p**p bags (scooper if you need one). You are responsible for cleaning up your dog's excitement in a new place. We need to keep the park clean.
Please have all dogs on a leash and be proactive of their surroundings and not reactive. Not everyone's best friend is as good as yours when they meet new people fur friends.
Early race day packet pickup will be Thursday February 26, 2026 at Perfectly Fit, 303 Minnesota Park, Suite E, Hammond, LA from 10:30-6:00pm. Skip the race day rush and get your race packet early. It's also a good reason to grab some last-minute necessities, shoes, race belt, socks...they have lots of socks which are super comfy...and anything else you may need to execute your race plan to perfection.
If you purchased a t-shirt, you will be able to pick this up at early race day packet pickup.
Speaking of race t-shirts, if you did not purchase a shirt but would like to purchase a shirt, we will have a few available for purchase. Sizes and quantities are very limited. If you want to be guaranteed a shirt, please come to early packet pick up to purchase. Once we are sold out, we are sold out.
We also want to thank all of our sponsors, so many have stepped up to support the TAF mission. And thank you Stafford Veterinary Hospital for presenting the event. Make sure you check out all of our sponsors!
This event is sure to be a sellout, and we are so excited to be able to bring this to the community of Hammond. You can run with your dog every day, but they don't always get the chance to get their own medal! MAKE IT HAPPEN!!
