5K9 Dog Jog
Vets To Vets United presents the 5K9 Dog Jog on September 26, 2026 at the Cross-Country Track at WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, North Carolina. The event features a 5K course that combines open field sections and a natural trail experience. Participants may run, jog, walk, or cheer with or without a dog.
The event field includes product vendors, nonprofit and sponsor spaces, and participation from veteran organizations. A DJ will provide music, and attendees can expect water, snacks, and activities for dogs. Vendor and sponsorship opportunities are available, with product vendors charged a fee and assigned a 10'x10' plot; tents, tables, chairs, electricity, or equipment are not provided. Vendors are asked to complete set up before the event begins and to remain on site until the event ends.

- $40 early bird registration through June 30, 2026
