2nd Annual Running of the Chihuahuas Description

Dogs and dogs lovers trot over to the annual Running of the Chihuahuas. Held on a day in May, the 2013 Running of the Chihuahuas takes place at the Kastles Stadium at The Wharf in Washington, D.C.

With food trucks, plenty of beer, dog contests, and chihuahua races, there’s something for everyone at this family-friendly dog race. The fastest dogs split up cash prizes totaling $500.

Attending the Running of the Chihuahuas in 2013 is free but donations are requested. Proceeds raised from this dog race benefit PAWS Southwest, a non-profit working to build a dog park for the SW neighborhood.
