20th Annual Run for the Paws 5K | Thank You, Supporters!

On January 25, 2026, more than 550 runners, walkers, and their four-legged companions crossed the finish line at Paradise Coast Sports Complex for our 20th Annual Run for the Paws 5K, presented by Subaru of Naples.

What started two decades ago has grown into one of Naples’ favorite community traditions… a morning of wagging tails, personal bests, and shared purpose. Thank you to everyone who laced up, showed up, and helped raise critical funds for the animals of Patty Baker Humane Society Naples.

Congratulations to Our 2026 Top Performers!

Thank You to Our Sponsors & Volunteers

This event wouldn’t be possible without the generosity of our presenting sponsor, Subaru of Naples, our incredible volunteers, and every participant who donated pet food for our community pet pantry. Your support keeps tails wagging all year long.
