6 Legged Race
2/4/12
8:30 am

Thank you to everybody who came out and made our 2012 Six Legged Race a HUGE success! Also a HUGE thank you to everybody who donated to Elm Brook Humane Society! Your generosity is GREATLY appreciated!

Have you ever been the human to hold a dog's leash while their person runs a race? If so, you've seen what happens when the person runs by - the dog strains at their leash saying "I wanna go, I wanna go, I wanna GO" with every fiber of their four legged being. Being dog cohabitants ourselves, Race Day Events decided to produce the 6 Legged Race - a race where the dogs don't just watch, they get to RUN!
 
The 6 Legged Race is a 5K run/walk produced in conjunction with the Great Lakes Pet Expo, and a portion of proceeds will go to our charity rescue partner. Humans are encouraged to run with a dog, but it's not required. If you don't own, or can't borrow a dog and you would like to run with one, please contact us at raceday@racedayeventsllc.com, we MAY be able to help you. All dogs MUST be leashed AT ALL TIMES, NO EXCEPTIONS!
