The annual Puppy Love 5k is a fundraiser run/walk in San Diego's Embarcadero Marina Park South. Participants can sign up for the run if they wish to be timed, or as a walker if they want to enjoy a leisurely stroll through the park.

This family-friendly and pet-friendly event culminates at the BARKetplace where you can find food, giveaways, costume contests, opportunity drawings, FREE kid's activities, awards, and more. Hang out on the lawn with your furry friends and enjoy the scenery. All donations, proceeds, and registration fees from the event go directly to the pets and programs at Helen Woodward Animal Center.
