Puppy Love 5K Run/Walk
About this race
Join us for the 4th annual Puppy Love 5K!
Join the Pack for a 5K run or walk with and for your best four-legged friends.
This race is 100% dog friendly for all well socialized pups on a leash. We do ask that any owners running with dogs be prepared with a pick up bag to attend to any unscheduled potty breaks on the course. Dogs are not allowed off leash at any time.
You can run with a dog or without. Limit one dog per handler. 1 runner + 1 dog = $45. Minimum age for a runner with a dog is 12 years old. Kids 10 and under run free, but must be accompanied by an adult and do not receive race swag and are not officially timed.
There will be awards for the top 3 male and female finishers with a dog, as well as:
- Best Sweetheart Squad (Valentine's theme or general costume)
- Best Heart Melter/Most Adorbs
- Best Butt Wiggle
- Grand Master Award/Most Likely to Take a Nap
- Novice Award/Most Enthusiastic
All prizes sponsored by Dolittle’s Pet Shop.
