Dogtown Doggy Dash 5K and 1 Mile
Whether you choose the full 5k or the all-new 1-mile option, both courses are dog-friendly and open to walkers, making it easy for every pup to join the fun. Participants will receive race shirts, and dogs will get a bandana to show off their style. Along the way, dogs can cool off at two water stops with splash zones sponsored by Run The Edge , and every finisher, human and canine, will earn a finisher reward to celebrate the moment. At the finish line, pups are treated to well-earned goodies, and you’ll have the chance to snap a personalized photo to remember the day together.
