Mutt Strut 5K DeKalb, IL   Sep 12, 2026

Join us for the Tails Humane Society Mutt Strut, where every step you take makes a difference for homeless pets in need! Whether you run or walk the 5k route, you’re supporting our mission to care for and find loving homes for animals. There is also a 1 mile walk option available. Bring your furry friends along – dogs are more than welcome to join in the fun! Together, we can wag more tails and make a lasting impact in our community.

Mutt Strut benefits Tails Humane Society and the 2,200 homeless pets that we care for each year. The proceeds from this event go directly to caring for the animals in our care. It helps with their day-to-day care from food and litter to medicine and surgical procedures! Note: This is a fun run/walk and will not be officially timed.
