🐾🎃 Paws & Pumpkins 5K Fun Run – October 25th at MCARLM
Lace up your running shoes, leash up your furry friend, and join us for the Paws & Pumpkins 5K Fun Run at the Monterey County Agricultural & Rural Life Museum (MCARLM) in San Lorenzo Park! This festive, family-friendly event combines autumn fun with an active, outdoor challenge.
 
Participants (two-legged and four-legged alike) are encouraged to dress in their best Halloween costumes for an afternoon of fitness, laughter, and tail-wagging fun. Enjoy a scenic 2K & 5K route through the park and surrounding trails, perfect for walkers, joggers, and runners of all levels.
After crossing the finish line, stick around for costume contest results (for pets,  pet-owner duos), pumpkin-themed photo ops, and seasonal treats. All proceeds benefit MCARLM’s exhibits, educational programs, and community events as well as SCAR (South County Animal Rescue).
