A Pawsitively Fun Experience

Starting amidst the vibrant atmosphere of the marathon, the Pittsburgh Pet Walk is a non-competitive, pet-friendly event that allows you and your pets to explore a short and scenic course. From playful pups to serene seniors, all pets are welcome to participate, making it a delightful experience for pets of all ages and sizes.

The Pet Walk isn't about speed – it's about embracing the joy of being outdoors, spending quality time with your furry friends, and connecting with fellow pet enthusiasts. As you walk side by side with your furry companion, you'll enjoy the company of like-minded pet lovers and the support of fellow participants.

The event is not only a celebration of your pets, but also an opportunity to support animal welfare initiatives in the community. Proceeds from the Pet Walk go to Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh and helping animals in need, making your participation even more meaningful.

As you and your pet cross the finish line together, you'll experience a sense of accomplishment that comes from sharing a positive and memorable experience. The Pet Walk is a heartwarming reminder of the joy and unconditional love that our pets bring to our lives.

Whether you have a furry friend who's always up for an adventure or a laid-back companion who prefers a leisurely stroll, the Pittsburgh Pet Walk invites you to create lasting memories and celebrate the special connection you share.
