Red Coyote is kicking off 2026 with Puppy Love 5K on Sunday, February 22nd at 2PM at Stars & Stripes Park in OKC. Run, walk, jog, and stroll with your pups and support the mission of 405 Animal Rescue with one of our favorite races of the year. 405 Animal Rescue will also bring some adoptable pups—come to the race ready to meet (and maybe even adopt!) a new running buddy!
Puppy Love 5K is 100% dog-friendly for well-socialized pups on a leash; please bring potty bags to clean up after your dogs on the course.
Run with your pup or without—this is a fun, family-friendly race for all abilities and paces. We also invite you to join in the fun with our costume contest—we'll have a special prize for the dog/owner with the most amazing costume!
All finishers will receive a Red Coyote Puppy Love 5K medal and shirt—get a sneak peek of the design during registration!
Winter running weather in Oklahoma can be unpredictable. In the event that we are unable to run, Red Coyote will postpone rather than cancel the event. Our preliminary weather backup date is currently set for Sunday, March 1st but we will announce and confirm within 24 hours should a reschedule become necessary.
