Duck Donut Holiday 5 K And 1 Mile Pet Walk

Duck Donut Holiday 5 K And 1 Mile Pet Walk takes place in Parsippany-Troy Hills, New Jersey, on November 29, 2026. Two formats start at 10:00 a.m.: a 5K run and a relaxed 1-mile walk you can do with your pet. This community event is built around a fun morning of fitness with your dog, with finisher medals and donuts at the end, plus a special treat for the animals. There is no water station on the course, but bottles are handed out at the finish. Music, games, and activities round out the family atmosphere, and the event supports Toys for Tots, so you are encouraged to bring an unwrapped toy. T-shirts and medals are reserved for the first 250 registrants.

The 5K is a road distance that works for anyone, from first-timers who plan to run-walk it to faster runners looking for a quick holiday effort. The 1-mile pet walk is a no-pressure option for families and dog owners. To be comfortable over 3.1 miles, aim for three easy runs a week over four to six weeks and practice carrying your own water, since none is offered on the course.
