There is no official event parking. Participants are welcome to park in East Hampton Village, but its important to be aware of local parking regulations to avoid fines.
In the event of inclement weather the event will be held on October 12, 2025. Registration and check-in will open at 9 AM.
Early check-in will be available the week prior to the event. Participants can pick up their race bib, t-shirt, and tote bag at the ARF Adoption Center. The exact times will be posted closer to the event, so be sure to watch for updates via email and social media!
All those registered as
Mighty Mutts and
Mini Mutts will receive an event t-shirt, but please note that supplies and sizes are limited. ARF does their best to ensure that all participants receive a shirt, but we cannot guarantee sizes.
Fundraise-Only Participants - shirts will be mailed during event week to the provided address once a participant has raised $50 in fundraising. ARF cannot guarantee that shirts will arrive before Oct 11th. Fundraising to $50 does not grant event admission.
Do I get ALL the fundraising prizes?
Physical fundraising prizes are not cumulative. Participants can choose a prize at or below the level they fundraised to. For instance, if you fundraised $800 you would be eligible to choose a hat OR a water bottle.
When and where do I get my fundraising prizes?
Prizes will be available for pickup at the event, and the week follow at the ARF Adoption Center. Items can be mailed following the event if neccessary. Please be sure to watch for updates via email and social media.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes! Dogs are more than welcome! We just ask that participants practice responsible pet ownership. This includes keeping your dog on a leash, ensuring they are well-behaved, and always picking up after them. If you forget bags, don't worry - poop bags will be available throughout the event! If your dog is uncomfortable in large crowds or tends to be reactive to other dogs, it might be best to leave them at home for their comfort and safety.
Can I turn in donations at the event?
Yes, you can! While its always best to turn in any checks or cash pre-event to keep you in the running for top prizes, you can always bring them day-of. Please turn in any donations raised to volunteers at the event-registration table. They will notify the staff to add the donations to your fundraising total.
Do kids need to register?
Children under 10 are free to attend as a "Playful Pup" with a registered adult. If you would like them to receive an event t-shirt, please register them at the "Mini Mutt" level. When registering children, please note that they will need a unique email address to create their own fundraising page.
Do I have to walk?
No, you don't have to walk! Many participants choose to skip the trek to the beach and hang out at the Farm instead. Feel free to explore and enjoy the live music, food, activities, silent auction, lucky numbers, and all of our amazing vendors!
Can I attend if I don't have a dog?
Absolutely! Even cat lovers are welcome! ARF Hamptons loves all animal lovers - pets or no pets. Your support helps fund our mission, so whether you have a dog, cat, iguana, or just a big heart for animals - we'd love to have you there!
