About
The Run for the Animals 5K - IN is a timed 5K run/walk at Karst Farm Park in Bloomington, Indiana, on October 3, 2027, starting at 9:30 a.m. It benefits the Monroe County Humane Association (MCHA), whose programs include veterinary care, emergency shelter and pet food assistance.
Runners are welcome to bring their dogs, with specific requirements for canine participants such as up-to-date rabies vaccinations and non-retractable leashes. An awards ceremony honors the top finishers in each age group, and with the community's support the MCHA continues its work for animal welfare.
