Join us for a day of spooktacular fun at our Run Fur Fun 5k on October 18, 2025! Our Run Fur Fun 5k starts and ends at Odell Brewing Company in Fort Collins. Don't forget to wear a costume for the costume contest, enjoy the eclectic tunes of The Sugar Britches, and have lots of fun with fellow animal-and beer-loving racers. Members of NOCO Clown Club will be there making balloon animals for the youngsters and young at heart. Well-behaved, leashed dogs are welcome to join in on the fun as well!

All proceeds from this race benefit Animal Friends Alliance and the more than 13,000 cats and dogs we help each year.
