2026 STROLL TO THE SEA DOG WALK
About 2026 STROLL TO THE SEA DOG WALK
Every year, hundreds of ARF supporters gather at Mulford Farm in East Hampton for a festive 2-mile walk to the ocean and back.
ARF's Dog Walk brings a community of animal lovers together in support of the dogs and cats at the ARF Hamptons Animal Shelter and Adoption Center. Set amid the historic and beautiful Mulford Farm, the walk leads to Main Beach and back, with fun activities including giveaways, raffles, silent auction, food, and contests.
