Miles For Mutts - Newburgh

Miles For Mutts returns to Newburgh, Indiana, on October 24, 2026, with an untimed 5K run and walk starting at 8 a.m. The annual event supports the Warrick Humane Society and follows scenic Warrick trails, so expect a natural surface rather than pavement. Awards go to the first five men and first five women, plus a prize for the first dog across the line. Registration comes with the option to buy merchandise such as shirts and pet bandanas, and people and pets are equally welcome.

Since the clock is not running, this is a good outing for a dog new to group runs, or for a runner easing back after a break. If you plan to bring your dog, practise a few short trail runs together beforehand so the leash handling is second nature by race morning. Trail footing also means shorter strides and more attention to where you land, so keep your pace expectations looser than they would be on a road 5K.
