RACE DETAILS

 Why we RACE:
Together, we can Bark Out Loud for the pups that can't! Most people don't know that this horrible disease CAN EASILY BE PREVENTED with proper testing prior to breeding (& making healthy choices in the best interest of the pups). 

WALK, RUN, RIDE or even ROLL - "Get out & move for those who can't!"

  •  5K for competitive Runners - we will have two awards: one for the fastest running time for the whole 5K in one day AND the other award will go to the person that runs the largest distance every day for the period of the whole week (this one may be over 5K in distance). All times must be submitted by using the form that will be emailed to all Runners registered for this competition.


  • Competitive Walkers - we will have two awards: one for the furthest distance walked in one day (fastest time will be used for tie breaker) AND the other award will go to the person that walked the largest distance every day for the period of the whole week (this one may be over 5K in distance). All times must be submitted by using the form that will be emailed to all Walkers registered for this competition.


  • Dog Jog - For those that are already walking your dog(s) daily, why not make it count?! You & your pups will participate VIRTUALLY!!!


  • Couch Dog - For those that don't have the ability or desire to go out for a walk but wish to support our cause and cheer everyone on virtually - Everyone needs a cheer team & we all know that one pup that would prefer to bark at the passer-by'ers from their front window (hehe), well Couch dogs have a role too! Woof, Bork, Woof!


  • NEW Cruisin for Dogs - Ride your bike, motorcycle, horse, scooter, rollerskates, skateboard, wheelchair, etc!
    We will have an award for the farthest distance "ridden" in each "discipline" for the period of the whole week. All travel times must be logged & submitted by using the form that will be emailed to all registrants signed up for this competition.
  • NEW Swimmers for Dogs - farthest distance "swam" over the duration of the whole week. All distances must be submitted by using the form that will be emailed to all swimmers registered for this competition. 

AWARDS & PRIZES: 

All will be eligible for prizes for the following categories: Largest Team (both In-Person and Virtual), Most Teams together in an "In-Person" meetup, Best Pack Leader, Clearest Message, Most Educational posts, Favorite Social post (FB, IG, TT, X, etc), Best all breeds video, Best Dressed pups, Best RACE pic, Youngest Advocate, Largest Youth Club Team, Turtle award, Most creative overall, Best pic with sunglasses, as well as of course the Division WINNERS for DM Warrior, Corporate, Helping Paws, Scholar (University), Advocacy and many more prizes.

ALL PAID ENTRIES ARE ALSO ENTERED INTO OUR FREE GIVEAWAYS DRAWINGS TOO!
