There has been a date change, and a change in the race format! The Jog for Dogs 5K will take place the same day as the Willow Dog Mushers’ Mini Symposium. Additionally, this will be a 5K for humans, NOT for dogs (proceeds from the race, however, will benefit the canine athletes of the Willow Dog Mushers Association!)
If you do choose to participate with your dog, it must be leashed at all times, and you will be kindly asked to walk, not run.
Race time: 11 am
