Dog Jog

Dog Jog is Back this Fall
Make a difference to the animals in your community by joining us for the 31st Annual Dog Jog 5K and Fun Run, a fundraising event that supports CHA Animal Shelter. Every year, this event raises life-saving funds which are used to help animals in need.

We are offering both in-person and virtual race options for CHA’s 31st Annual Dog Jog. As a participant, you have the option to sign up for either event option when you register. If we as an organization don't have confirmation from the city that our event will be permitted by 60 days out from the scheduled event date, all in-person participants will be transitioned to the virtual event for 2021.

Those who choose the in-person event on October 3rd at Genoa Park will enjoy a scenic run/walk in downtown Columbus and be able to visit a variety of vendor booths and participate in games and other activities. Those who choose to participate in the event virtually will not be officially timed for the race or have access to in-person event festivities but can take part in the event between October 3rd and October 10th by running or walking along their favorite neighborhood routes, on their local bike paths, or wherever running and walking is safely permitted.
