Big Babies 5k run/walk 2026 race date - Sunday, September 13th
The Big Babies 5K run/walk provides financial support for medical expenses for caring for young large animals (foals, crias, calves, kids, etc.) that require treatment at MSU’s Veterinary Medical Center. Medical expenses for newborn animals are generally unanticipated and can be substantial. The Big Babies Fund will be used to cover part of the medical expenses for clients in need. Funds are also used to support the training needs of students and residents who will become veterinarians and specialists who can help "Big Babies"
Dogs are welcome to walk with their owners in this event. We ask that you start at the back of the group and that dogs are leashed.
