6th Annual Mutt Strut
Hope to see you there!
We encourage all to bring their
service animals and pet dogs to the
Mutt Strut as long as they are on leash
and under control at all times. If you
do not have a dog, do not worry, we
welcome all for the FUN Run/Walk.
Snacks, water, and coffee will be
available during the Run/Walk for all
participants and volunteers.
There will be opportunities to check
out vendors, enjoy live entertainment,
participate in a dog costume contest
and a raffle, and much more.
While at the event, don’t forget to
take advantage of the Crescenta
Valley Community Regional Park
offerings. The park is nestled in a
green tree-filled valley providing
community access to a beautiful
natural area of native California flora
and fauna. People who frequent the
park call it a “hidden jewel”. Enjoy
the many different paths of the
Run/Walk within this landscape.
