DECK YOURSELF AND YOUR DOG OUT IN PINK AND HEAD OVER TO WINTERPLACE PARK!
On Saturday October 8th, 2011 dog owners have an amazing opportunity to not only have a great time, but contribute to a great cause. Women Supporting Women will host its Walk for Awareness at Winterplace Park.
The money that the walk raises will go to benefit Women Supporting Women who works with women who are battling or have battled breast cancer.
This event is incredably dog friendly! A person costs $20, and your four legged friend is an extra $5. Two leggers recieve a t-shirt and a Texas Roadhouse lunch (yum!) and four leggers recieve a doggie goodie bag and a pink bandana (adorable!) to show their breast cancer awareness support!
The walk starts at 10am, but I would get there early to register and get settled in before the 3 mile walk starts.
You can also purchase "In honor" and "In memory" of signs for an additional $25.
Also keep in mind since this is a walk not a run, it is not only dog friendly but family friendly! So bring the whole bunch! Hope to see you there, wearing your pink, showing your support, and having a great time!
P.S. Click over to the Women Supporting Women Walk for Awareness page to see just how much fun people have with the pink theme!

VP 5k, FREE Entry
There are a TON of fun dog friendly events coming up on Delmarva in the next few weeks! So get those walking shoes and leashes ready because now that the cooler weather is rolling in, we all know our four legged friends are ready to hit the ground running!
First up is the VP Shoes 5k Challenge. The run will take place on Saturday October 1st, 2011. This is a free event, that takes you on a unique private 3.1 mile run through the woods/roads behind their store. I ran it last year and it was a really fun time. Keep in mind that because it is a free event, and that it is not taking place at the city park (like most Salisbury based 5ks do) so it brings in a very large crowd. During the race there is only one water table but you run by it once on the way out and once on the way back in, so you get 2 chances for a drink during your 3.1 miles.
I am not 100% sure that the run portion of this event is dog friendly, but I did see dogs at the event last year, I'm just not sure if they ran it or not. I would double check at check-in just to make sure. And stay towards the back of the pack at the start line so as not to get Fido run over because it is a big group starting out!

After the race, they do an awards ceremony along with a few giveaways. You also receive a coupon to use within the store. There is also a post-race free barbecue with beer! Last year race shirts (a nice weight New Balance brand athletic long sleeve wicking type shirt) was not included but only cost $10, and since the race was free the shirt was definitely worth it! (Especially since it retails for around $30!)
