Race Information
Mark your calendars and get ready for the Annual Duo Dash 5K & 1-Mile Dog Walk! Lace up your shoes, leash up your pups, and join a day of fun, fitness, and fundraising, all to benefit Duo Dogs. This year’s race is extra special as they'll also be celebrating Duo Ambassador Dog Barclay’s 8th birthday at the Dash! Help make Barclay’s birthday extra sweet by bringing a donation to the race: New hard dog toys (all ages); Dog training treats (Zuke's or Charlee Bear preferred); Coconut Oil Round cotton pads. Head to their wishlist for more ideas. Teams are encouraged to set up fundraising pages for their dogs and compete in a friendly contest for ultimate bragging rights — who will be crowned the highest fundraiser? Whether you’re running, walking, or cheering from the sidelines, it’s going to be a paw-some day you won’t want to miss!
