Get Ready to Wiggle Waggle, Walk and Run

Pasadena Humane’s 24th annual Wiggle Waggle Walk & Run returns to Brookside Park at the Rose Bowl on Sunday, September 18. The organization hopes to raise $250,000 to help save the lives of thousands of animals with programs like foster care, kitten nursery, animal ICU, spay/neuter, a pet food bank, and so much more.

This event is a community fundraiser that promises an exciting day of in-person activities and fun for the whole family. There are options for a 1-mile or 5k walk (or run!) around the Rose Bowl, along with a vendor village with goodies and giveaways for pets and people, a doggy costume contest, an agility course, food trucks, and more. Attendees do not need a dog to join the fun—just a desire to help animals.

“We are thrilled for the Wiggle Waggle Walk & Run to return to Brookside Park at the Rose Bowl for its 24th year,” said Dia DuVernet, Pasadena Humane’s President & CEO. “It is always a great opportunity for us to connect with the animal-loving community and have a fun day while supporting the lifesaving work of Pasadena Humane.”

Animal lovers are encouraged to fundraise for the animals by registering as an individual or as part of a team on the Wiggle Waggle Walk & Run website and asking family, friends, and coworkers for donations. Participants can win paw-some prizes and compete to take home the title of Top Fundraiser, Top Donor, or Top Fundraising Team.

Once again, registrants can choose to attend the in-person event or participate virtually. General and virtual registrations are $50 through September 16 at noon. Onsite registration will be $65. All registered participants will receive a limited-edition Wiggle Waggle Walk & Run t-shirt, bib, bandana and medal.

On event day, event check-in and the vendor village open at 8:00 a.m. at Brookside Park. The Walk & Run begins at 9:00 a.m., and festivities, including contests, vendor booths, team photos, food trucks, and music, will continue until 11:00 a.m. Brookside Park is located at 360 North Arroyo Blvd in Pasadena.
