What else is there to do?
Enjoy live music, caricature artists and face painters, and free pizza from Papa Johns. After the race, there will be a Mutt Market Festival + an after pawty.
How can my mutt and I sign up?
You can register for the race until Friday, April 25 for $40 per person. Pro tip: You can also donate through the Greenville Humane Society.

If you have a mutt that doesn’t want to strut, you can volunteer at the event. The Mutt Strut is currently looking for folks to put up “no parking” signs + water distributors and course marshalls.
