Paw-louse 5k Fun Run & Walk
The annual Paw-louse 5k Fun Run & Walk is an annual fundraiser for Humane Society of the Palouse, beginning back in 2011. The race has traditionally followed Paradise Path through UI campus, but in 2024, we made some exciting changes to the route! After seeing such a success, we have decided to continue the new route! Participants can look forward to running along the smooth, paved, and well-maintained Latah Trail. We'll kick things off in the Alturas Analytics parking lot. Please join us for a beloved dog-friendly race that supports lost and homeless pets in need!


The Route
The 5k will follow the route outlined below in an "out-and-back" fashion:

There are three crossings along the route. Each of these crossings will be manned by event volunteers with traffic flags to help participants cross safely. There will be a water station and bathroom about halfway through the route, with a second water station at the turnaround point.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns about the 5k, please send an email to us at director@humanesocietyofthepalouse.org.
The T-Shirt
A huge congratulations to Taylor, who won our design contest this year! This will be the design on our 2025 Paw-Louse 5K T-shirts!

Our Generous Sponsors
The following businesses have made the Paw-louse 5k possible this year! Each of these businesses have made donations that allow us to host the 5k without taking away money from pets in need. Thank you to our fantastic sponsors who have gone out of their way to support our mission!






Food and Drink Sponsors

For the third year in a row, the dog-loving folks at Moscow Bagel & Deli are helping racers refuel after the 5k! Finish the race and treat yourself to some delicious bagels and cream cheese, courtesy of Moscow's beloved downtown bagel spot. We are so grateful for their continued support!

Grocery Outlet in Pullman has kindly agreed to be our hydration station sponsor this year! They will be there with plenty of water and sport drinks to keep our runners hydrated during and after the run! We are thrilled to have their support for our 5K Fun Run this year!
