Dog social, shop and 5k fun run @ Thirst Chelmsford

Our first ever event at Thirst Syndicate, Chelmsford, and we are SO excited. Combining our running event with our dog social and shop events, we bring you our newest on-lead dog social event, with amazing dog business stalls, a paw'secco bar and puppachino bar, photo wall, goody bags, AND for those that want to, a 5k run with their dog. 

All participating dogs will also receive a dog run bandana. 

No obligation to run, feel free to come along just for the shops and the social element. 

We started these events to tackle loneliness, get out in the fresh air, and do something fun with our dogs. 

The 5k run lead by pace setters (at approx 6mins 30 per k), with speakers pumping out the tunes! Finishing up back at Radio City Social for a bev and a chat. All participating dogs will receive a doggy race bandana. We also have some NEW additions to the event, a doggy paw'secco and puppachino bar, goody bags and Thirst have a stunning venue for us to enjoy! Serving delicious coffee or alcohol.  

Wild dogs will have a shop full of treats, toys and clothing including dog canicross running gear. Samantha Wayland Dog Training will be doing a scent workshop, and we will have our pop up champagne bar serving paw'secco and puppachinos. In the dog house will be talking about her grooming services and offering nail clips on the day and Fab and Furry will be painting LIVE paint portraits!

You do not need a dog to attend, and yes you can absolutely attend solo! 

This event is on Saturday 13th September 2025, open from 10am-1pm. Run start time TBC but will be towards the start. We would love to see as many of you there as possible :)
