24th Annual Mutt Strut 5k Coming Up In Augusta This Saturday (May 27)

This Saturday (MAY 27) will be the 24th annual Kennebec Valley Humane Society Mutt Strut 5k in Augusta, and as always, it should be great time for both our furry friends and the people who are participating in it. The event will start and finish at the Kennebec River Rail Trail entrance next to the Kennebec Valley YMCA.

For 24 years, the Mutt Strut and 5K have served as a way for people to come together and raise money to find forever homes for animals in their community. All funds raised go directly to support more than 2,000 animals that find their way to the Kennebec Valley Humane Society annually. Along with the 5K walk and run, there will be vendors, food, activities and much more!
