Run for the Animals 5K

Sponsor Tabling Information
MCHA’s Run for the Animals 5K will take place on Sunday, October 5th, 2025
 

HOURS: Sponsors/vendors may arrive as early as 6:00 a.m. and should be set up by the time registration opens at 8:00 a.m. We’ll have designated parking for you after unloading. As a safety consideration, we ask that you stay until the awards and pet contests have ended (approximately 11:30-11:45 a.m.). This helps ensure vehicles are not passing through areas where attendees and their animals are congregated during the event.

We will email a vendor map to you by Monday before the event, and we’ll have volunteers on-site to direct you where to go when you arrive.

USEFUL INFO:

We offer a designated 10’X10′ space for each vendor unless an exception is requested no later than 1 week in advance of the event. You will need to provide your own table, chairs, tents, signage, etc. If you are bringing swag and giveaways, please know we are expecting 250-300 attendees this year.

  
There are no outlets in the vendor area, and generators should not be used during the starting lineup or after the race during the awards and activities.
 
There are restrooms and a first aid station at the Commons Building near the vendor area.
  
For our non-profit friends, you are welcome to share informational materials and swag, collect contact info, etc., but we ask that you please don’t solicit donations while at our event.
 
We require a Certificate of Insurance from all vendors naming MCHA as the additional insured. Please send a copy to mcha@monroehumane.org no later than 5 days in advance of the event.
