Dog Days Run Walk Hattiesburg, MS   Jun 13, 2026

The Dogs Days Run Walk is a family-friendly event that supports the Mississippi Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association, helping raise funds to provide the training and education needed for the community to fully benefit from the recently passed Jill’s Law, ensuring insurance covers advanced testing to allow earlier, more accurate diagnoses and access to newer treatments that can slow the disease, giving families more time to plan and be together.

The 5 Mile, 5K, and 2 Mile races kick off early in the morning to beat the heat, offering participants the choice to run or walk with or without their furry companions. All routes will start and finish at Kamper Park, guiding participants through the scenic Avenues of Hattiesburg, a charming neighborhood with shaded paths. Expect encouragement along the way from community volunteers. The race concludes back at Kamper Park, where a lively Finish Line Festival (“Pawty”) awaits both racers and their pets.
