Wag N' Run - March 24, 2018

We have changed our no dog on run rule. You can now officially run the race with your pup. However, you will be asked to start in the back of the race and stick to the side at all times. Please be very mindful of other runners. And of course, please keep yourself and your dog hydrated. We will have ample water stations along the course.
Plenty of parking will be available.
Register today to take advantage of the discounted entry fee. Prices will increase starting November 1st.
Open to all ages.

Southeastern Guide Dog Wag N' Run Where & When
Most Helpful Review
Way n run
Great location. Friendly volunteers, great cause. A few suggestions would be to have water available at the finish line and a group of volunteers and possibly dogs at the corner where it turned down to the finish line. Also, the finishing results were unclear and not posted afterwards online. I didn't like the participation medals, my group would have preferred finishing medals instead.
Can't wait for this race!
I'm so excited for this run! I am a big supporter of Southeastern Guide Dogs and have participated in the Walkathons for the past few years. Love that you are adding a run option. And Nathan Benderson is a beautiful park. Can't wait to run for the dogs on March 18th.
Finally a Run!!
Happy you guys added a run this year. Looking forward to it!! My family will probably do the walk while I run. - Ryan
