Helping Paws is thrilled to host our Paws In Motion 5K and fundraiser on May 17, 2026, at Purgatory Creek Pavilion in Eden Prairie. Whether you wag, walk, roll, or run, there are long and short course options for all abilities. Bring your friends and family, form a team, and help raise funds to support life-changing assistance dogs.

Join a welcoming community of dog lovers and supporters who believe in the powerful bond between humans and dogs. Meet our service dogs, cheer on happy tails, and enjoy a morning spent moving your body for a great cause.

After the 5K, stick around for the celebration! The Pavilion area will feature food trucks, live music, arts and crafts vendors, and plenty of fun. Not participating in the 5K? No problem—there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Get your Paws In Motion and be part of the impact!
