It's here! It's here! The day has finally come! It's true that every dog has it's day because today, May 5th, is National Run With Your Dog Day! Lea from Running With Ollie and I are proud to bring to you the National Run With Your Dog Day 5k and Giveaway! Fun, fur and prizes abound!
All you have to do is run with your dog and enter the giveaway to win prizes! It's all free! The purpose of this virtual race is to promote the holiday, sharing pics and stories of our run with our awesome dogs with other people who run with their dogs.
This is how it works. This is a virtual race so you can run your 5k (3.1 miles) wherever, whenever, however you want. You can run around your neighborhood, on a trail or wherever else you deem fit to run! You can run it all at once or break it into smaller bits. You can walk if that's what works for you and your fuzzy partner. The point is to get out and spend the time with your furry friend, then share your stories and pictures on social media using our hashtag #runwithyourdogvirtual5k.
While National Run With Your Dog Day is officially May 5th, we know that there are many reasons you may not be able to complete your 5k on the actual holiday, so we are extending the celebration all the way through May 12th. Yes, you have anywhere from May 5th to May 12th to complete your Virtual 5k!
Whether this is your first run together or you nine hundred and ninety-ninth, all that matters is getting out and doing your thing with your pup. This isn't a competition so you can go at it at your own pace, keeping yourself and your dog in mind!
Don't have a dog? There are many dogs in shelters and rescues that need to stretch their legs. Or maybe you have a neighbor that can't get around as easily and you can help them out by taking their dog for a spin. Do a good deed, get a workout and maybe even some doggie kisses too!
Ready, Set, Go!
