Why Participate?
Whether you wag, walk, run, or roll, you become a vital part of a community coming together to support life-changing assistance dogs (service dogs and facility dogs). There will be a lot of happy tails waggin'!
It's an opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals who also believe in the mutually beneficial relationship between humans and dogs. Our community is filled with all walks of life who want to leave a positive impact that reverberates far beyond the finish line.
What a great way to spend a Sunday morning: outside and moving the body. There will be food trucks, arts and crafts vendors, live music, and lots of fun!
