Dog-Friendly Event:
This event proudly welcomes four-legged participants. Runners and walkers are encouraged to bring their leashed dogs to enjoy the course together. All dogs crossing the finish line will receive a special treat. Water bowls will be available at hydration stations and throughout the expo area. For the safety and enjoyment of all participants, dogs must be leashed, well-behaved, and non-aggressive at all times. Owners are responsible for cleaning up after their pets and should bring appropriate waste bags.
