Get ready for a morning full of fun at McFarland Park. The Howl-O-Ween Dash is a family-friendly 5K and 1-Mile Fun Run benefitting the Florence-Lauderdale and Colbert County Animal Shelters. The morning kicks off with a 5K route, followed by a 1-Mile Fun Run that ensures runners, walkers, and furry friends of all ages get their chance to participate, race, and win. You don't have to have a pet to sign up and participate, but pets are heavily encouraged to attend in their best costume to run the race and compete in our pet costume contest! While the pets take center stage, owners are encouraged to join the fun and dress up with their pets.
