Register / More Info ↗What's Happening
The Fast and the Furriest marks 20 years of Rochester's beloved dog walk and pet festival along the Genesee River. The 5K/10K route runs through some of the city's best riverfront scenery, and when you finish there's live music, food trucks, pet contests, and vendors — all of it benefiting the animal shelter services that make sure more dogs get adopted in the first place.
