Mutt Strut your stuff. The Papa Johns Mutt Strut is coming pup on Saturday, April 26.

People and their pups will parade proudly through downtown for a two-mile run (or walk, if you prefer) benefiting the Greenville Humane Society.

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.

How can I help?

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.
