Animal Run Richmond, CA   Nov 26, 2026

Welcome to the annual Run/Walk and Canicross (canine cross-country) Tofurkey Trot fundraiser! A community of athletes creating a better, loving and more sustainable world through outdoor exercise, animal kindness and environmental awareness.

The Mission: The Animal Run’s vegan foot races raise funds for various animal welfare organizations, helping them save the lives of, find homes for, heal and comfort animal residents in need. Animal Run encourages athletes to support vegan businesses that promote human health and a thriving world.

What is Canicross? Canicross can be run with one dog, always attached to the runner. The runner wears a waist belt or hip harness to minimize stress on the back lumbar area. The dog wears a specifically designed harness for safe and unrestricted joint movement. The two are joined by a bungee cord or elastic line that reduces shock to both human and dog when the dog pulls.
