2021 Mutt Strutt

May 23, 2021 (Or Whenever You Want!)

This year at the 2021 Music City Mutt Strutt people and pooches alike will gather to strutt their stuff for a great cause! All money raised through the Mutt Strutt enables the Nashville Humane Association to provide care and love to the animals entrusted to us each day. The event is outdoors, fun for the whole family and we will be awarding medals to all runners and special prizes at the event. Mutt Strutt is a 5K or 1 mile fun run, walk or strutt.

For the 2021 you’ve got two different options on how to strutt!

Due to the global pandemic that is still currently on-going, our commitment to adhering to public health guidelines and the safety of all our supporters is our first priority. That said, as our city begins to open, more people become vaccinated, and the nature of an open-air outdoor event, we want to have options that can meet different needs while still help raise much-needed funds for one of Nashville’s favorite animal shelters.

This year, you will be able to strutt with us at Shelby Park on May 23, 2021, OR you can Race Your Own Way on your own time. We’ll give you the course path, you run your own and share with us your time, or photos, or video. Because in the end, we’re not the Boston Marathon, this one is about Boston Terriers, and Chihuahuas, and Chocolate Labs, etc. You’re helping us raise funds for shelter pets!

Your $20 registration to either option is a donation helping homeless and at-risk shelter pets in need.

RACE DAY ON MAY 23 AT SHELBY PARK

This year has presented unique challenges for groups to gather and events to take place. As our city begins to open, more people become vaccinated, and public open-air events can be safely managed in a limited capacity, we have an option to strutt safely together.

Join us on May 23, 2021 for a safe, limited-capacity and slightly modified version of the Mutt Strutt we all know at love at Shelby Bottoms Park in East Nashville.

Any way you slice it, way your Entry Fee goes straight to benefit Nashville Humane!  REGISTER HERE!

Strutt Your Stuff… Solo!

RACE DAY IS YOUR DAY

This year has presented unique challenges for groups to gather and events to take place. Nashville Humane Association holds events like Mutt Strutt to raise much-needed funds for homeless and adoptable shelter pets in Nashville, Middle Tennessee and across the globe. We save lives and it’s all because of your support.

This year we’ll give you the course map and you can make Race Day your day. You can share with us your time, photos, video, tell us your story. Then we’ll combine everything into one great highlight montage. In the end, it’s not really about the race, it’s about raising funds for shelter pets!
