It's entirely an off-road experience! In recognition of Adopt a Shelter Dog Month in support of the ASPCA. It is our demonstration and commitment to enrichment for paws of all kinds. Limited number of in-person participants allowed; act now to secure your spot in the race!
We are on a mission to provide a fuller and more enriching life for our PawPals - a source of joy and comfort for us PawRents. With your participation and help we can accomplish this task, keeping our eyes peeled, ears tuned, noses up, and paws forward to a better tomorrow with hoomankinds’s best friends. If we have learned anything, it is this: Aston and Nova are not “pets”; they are family, members of our household, our ride-or-dies, our PawPals for life. Our transition into PawRents taught us that enrichment was an essential part for their development and well-being; from engaging in their training as a bonding strategy to encouraging socialization as a way to reveal their personalities and create independence. Our PawPals require dedication from us as much as they dedicate themselves to us.
We aim to provide a space where PawRents and PawPals can come together for a PawFect cause: to instill hope in us all and help save lives while also encouraging social interaction among our friends. The Passion of life shown through Affection, Loyalty, and Service for one another — PawRents and PawPals alike.
All PawRents (aka human race participants) will receive the official race t-shirt, finisher medal, and entry into the state park. All PawPals (aka dogs) registered for the race will receive a matching dog medal, race bandana, and entrance into the state park with in-person participants.
Virtual participants will have until the end of October to complete their race and upload results. Virtual participants will receive an email for the mobile application closer to race day.
