KC Pet Project 5K

Join KC Pet Project on Saturday, April 18, 2026 to compete in the KC Pet Project 5K! The race will take place in historic Swope Park, ending at our beautiful shelter! All registrants will receive a race bib and commemorative race medal. Registrants will also have the opportunity to bring their dog for an additional $15 fee and add a commemorative t-shirt for an additional $10 purchase. You can sign-up today for one of Kansas City’s favorite races and support the 16,000 homeless, abandoned, and often injured pets that will arrive at KC Pet Project each year. Don’t miss our 5th annual KC Pet Project 5K in Swope Park! For more information about KC Pet Project and to view adoptable pets, click here.
