National Run With Your Dog Day Virtual 5k (Pre-Registration)

Yes, you read that right! There is a National Run With Your Dog Day! Okay, it's because fellow dog running blogger, Running With Ollie, and myself decided that there should be one and so, now there is. We also decided that there should be a Virtual 5k to celebrate such a holiday and so, now there is. Boom!


Here's how this is going to go. Starting May 5th and running through May 12th, you run with your dog. Then you get online and you share your pictures and stories (because we all want to see your dog!) using the hashtag #runwithyourdogvirtual5k and you can win some awesome dog running themed prizes! Yep, prizes! Dog themed! Best week ever!

You get to do all of this from wherever you are! That's the virtual part. You can run in your neighborhood, a park or some trails. You can run fast. You can run slow. You can split the run and do a little bit each day. You run your 5k (That's 3.1 miles) however you and your pup want to run it (or walk it if that's what you can do). The point is to get out and do this with your dog. Too bad I don't have a dog. What? You don't have a dog? That's okay! You probably know someone that does (Please ask to borrow their dog. Stealing is frowned upon.) and there are always dogs in shelters that need to get outside for a little exercise (You might even fall in love with one and give it a home - Can this week get any better!?)

Oh yeah! Back to the prizes! All of our prize sponsors are small businesses that offer dog themed products. We were able to line up some really cool and unique prizes this way. We're still gathering prizes and sponsers, but here is a taste of what's to come!


Doesn't this all sound fantastic? Yeah, we know! We don't want you to forget about this very important holiday, so you can pre-register and we can keep you in the loop! Oh, I won't forget. Okay, but if you pre-register, you get the extra opportunity to win one of Running With Ollie's "My Running Partner Has Four Legs" tank! Yep! You can win a prize just for pre-registration. On May 5th, one winner will be randomly selected from those that pre-registered for the event. This is a separate giveaway before the official giveaway, open only to those that pre-registered


So, you pre-register, you get entered into this giveaway, we'll keep you up to date and filled in on everything National Run With Your Dog Day, you get to spend time running with your dog, you can win other prizes and all of this is fun, free and stress free! What are you waiting for?


We encourage you to visit our sponsor pages and like their shops. Your support of sponsors makes these types of events and giveaways possible!
