13th Annual Running of the Chihuahuas!

Get ready for one of Key West’s most adorable traditions—the 13th Annual Running of the Chihuahuas! Held at Rick’s Key West on Sunday, May 17, this lively, family-friendly event features tiny dogs with big personalities racing to the finish line in a series of fun and spirited heats, including categories for purebreds, mixed breeds, and senior pups. Doors open at 1 PM, with races kicking off at 3 PM, and the excitement continues with raffles, a 50/50 drawing, costume contests, and prizes for top racers. Free for spectators, the event also supports the Florida Keys SPCA, making it a feel-good afternoon of entertainment, community, and four-legged fun.
