Treat your darling doggo to a free fun day out at the City’s annual Fur Run at MacFaull Park on Sunday 15 September.
Celebrating its 9th year, the Fur Run is the first event of the season, kicking off Cockburn LIVE for 2024-25.
This unique event offers Cockburn dog owners a chance to get active with their furry friends, discover local pet services and products, and enjoy fun activities with their furry companions at the Spearwood park which is also a popular dog exercise area.
The paw-some day out has plenty of activities for your four-legged friends including the ‘fur run’ which is a 1km walk, run, or roll around picturesque MacFaull Park, plus the ever-popular pooch parade.
There is also loads of fun activities for the kids including face painting, bouncy castles, craft activities, and a special guest appearance from Ranger the Dog.
A doggo market with more than 20 stalls showcasing a range of niche animal ownership and welfare vendors will include Woofing Wonders, Hillbilly Hound, Pawty Co, Puppa Dolittle, Pampered Paws and Slobberlicious.
Other attractions include a pooch smooch photo booth and canine agility course.
“The City of Cockburn loves dogs and loves responsible dog ownership even more,” City of Cockburn Mayor Logan Howlett said.
“We encourage dog owners to come and celebrate their beloved pets with us and take advantage of a host of useful information while having a lot of fun and making new friends, of the canine and human variety!”
City of Cockburn Events Coordinator Emma Howe said the dog and family-friendly event had grown in popularity each year and 2024 would be no different.
“Apart from the popularity of the free vet checks and the annual pooch parade, local dog owners have told us they love the opportunity to go on a leisurely social walk with their pets and fellow owners,” Ms Howe said.
“They also love that it’s not a competition and that all participants receive a prize at the end of their walk around the park.
“This is truly an event for the whole family – pooch and all… You’d be barking mad to miss out on all the fun.”
