5th Annual Running of the Chihuahuas

DC’s Funniest Cinco de Mayo Celebration is Back!

(MOVED TO MAY 7th RAIN DATE!)

When:   Sunday, May 1, 2016 | 1pm to 4 pm

Where:  The Wharf 600 Water Street SW, Washington, DC 20024

Why:      A benefit for local animal charities and a hilarious way to celebrate Cinco

What:    Chihuahua races, food trucks, beer stands, live music, dog contests, a family friendly FREE event!

 

Kick off Cinco de Mayo at the Fifth Annual Running of the Chihuahuas! 1pm – 4pm on Sunday, May 1st at The Wharf – DC’s amazing new destination taking shape on the southwest waterfront. The Running of the Chihuahuas is part of DC’s best Cinco de Mayo celebration, an afternoon that includes great food from Sol Mexican, Red Hook and Captain Cookie food trucks, cold beer, live music from Sly 45 and of course, the races.

 

The highlight of the afternoon, the races feature 96 Chihuahuas racing in groups of eight on a sixty foot “race track.”  All the action is captured on a 17 foot Jumbotron screen and the winners take home $500 in cash and prizes.  ALL race proceeds benefit Rural Dog Rescue – a non-profit organization dedicated to pulling dogs from high-kill rural shelters.

 

Don’t have a Chihuahua? You can still take part in the excitement with the all-breed contests for best dressed dog and best trick! There will be local vendors and giveaways from DC’s pet friendly businesses.

 

Deadline to register dogs online is Friday, April 29th, walkups on race day accepted until all spots are full. $25 per dog to race. This is a family and dog-friendly, admission-free event, but you must be 21+ to drink beer. To enter and for more information, visit http://www.cincodc.com!
