The Running of the Chihuahuas
May 4 | 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM
Celebrate the 12th Annual Running of the Chihuahuas presented by Pacifico and hosted by Tommy McFly. The fun-filled event features the iconic Chihuahua races, a Pacifico Beer Garden, a DJ, pet photo booth, and a giant inflatable Chihuahua for photo opportunities.
Stop by the Tito's Chihuahua Lounge on Transit Pier for a cocktail made with Vodka for Dog People, and don't forget to visit the DC Lottery tent to spin the prize wheel to win cash and DC Lottery swag.
The highlight of the afternoon, the races features over 150 Chihuahuas racing in groups of eight on a sixty foot racetrack. All the action is captured on a huge video screen and the winners take home pet-friendly gifts, prizes, and more! All race proceeds benefit Rural Dog Rescue – a non-profit organization dedicated to pulling dogs from high-kill rural shelters.
