Running with one?s dog is generally discouraged in area races, but this is one event where it is encouraged, even required. While the 5K run can be run with or without dogs, the 2-mile event is with dogs. Last year 18 runners finished the 5K cross-county run while others did the 2-mile dog walk. Zachary Graves led all finishers in 24:05. Robin Baxter led the women in 25:25.
Entry Fees: The entry fees are $20.00 for the 5K and $10 for the 2-Mile Dog Walk. After 3/28, both fees increase by $5. Late entrants can register and pre-registered entrants can pick up their packets beginning at 11:00 am on race day. All registrants will receive a water bottle.

If you don't already know, it was passed about 3 years ago that dogs can now travel in an airplane with you... as a passenger. If your planning on taking your dog with you, remember to discuss all the details with the airline to ensure ALL the rules are met. This is still a new change and the rules change regularly... from when and how much to feed your pet before taking off, to the size of the carrier. This is NOt the time you want surprises.
"Animals are such agreeable friends - they ask no questions, they pass no criticisms"
