Last weekend we participated in a fun event that not only got Rocco and I off to a healthy start, but it also helped to raise funds for one of our local animal rescue organizations. I call that a win-win for efurryone!
The Petco 5k9 Walk Run presented by Purina ProPlan is a national 1-mile and 5k run series open to both people and their pets.
The Atlanta race was last weekend, but there still are a few more events coming up this year in cities across the country. Look here for some upcoming events in Austin, San Francisco and Portland.
We did the 5K but started near the back of the pack so that Rocco would have room to run! |
The 5k9 series was formed by Multisports.com, LLC, a team of dog lovers who are world class coaches and IRONMAN triathlon champions. The series mission is to promote healthy and fit lifestyles across the country while raising funds for the Petco Foundation, which in turn utilizes the funds to assist with local animal welfare groups.
The rainy day didn't slow down any pups or dampen any spirits! |
The 5k9 Walk Run event also features a health and fitness expo, providing a showcase for companies and organizations from both the health and pet industries.
Rocco met the fabulous Melissa Heeter who gave training tips and a disc dog demo! |
Melissa and her pup Glory |
The Atlanta 5k9 Walk Run raised awareness and funds for Forgotten Paws through the Petco Foundation, though many rescue organizations exhibited at the event, and not just for dogs and cats.
Sweet bunnies from The Rabbit Center |
Even bunnies were represented from The Georgia House Rabbit Society, providing home-like shelter and adoption services for over 200 rescues domestic rabbits each year.
In spite of the rain, we had a great time at the event and put in a full day of exercise before 9 a.m.! Be sure to check out the 5k9 Walk Run or other pet-friendly walk/run events in your area.
Time for a bath, Rocco! |

ReplyDeleteRocco - nicely done. Nothing like a good hike to start the weekend & it looks like a really fun event.
ReplyDeleteThat does look really fun and there is one in Cascadia soon. Maybe we'll check it out. Thanks! (We hope you enjoyed your bath, Rocco.)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun event! Opps I forgot FitDog Friday this week...I better get my act together for next week!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great event...checked out the website and they don't have any in Florida :( Maybe next year
ReplyDeleteWe have similar events Down Under in Australia. We recently attended and photographed one in Port Douglas, Queensland which was raising money for a local animal shelter. It's a great opportunity for like-minded people and their pups to get together and get active. I recommend it for all dog-lovers.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a lot of fun!!
ReplyDeleteHow cool is that!!
ReplyDeleteBenny & Lily
What a great Walk/Run Series - these races are staged at different spots across the U.S. Good way to get out and get some exercise and promote staying healthy with your dog!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so great! We hope the 5k9 comes to the DC area soon!!
ReplyDeleteThat's cute, 5K9! (took me a moment to get it. doh!) Rocco sure did get muddy, that must mean it was fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the photos of the walk. We have a Furry 5K here but I have never made it (hoping that this is our year) and don't recall seeing photos of the event anywhere. This gives me a feeling of what to expect.
ReplyDeleteWhat a super event! I love these things that are fundraisers and fun too! Raising money, getting exercise, and seeing all the other dogs is always so great. We have one coming up in a couple weeks for our local humane society. It will be my first time going to this one, so I am really looking forward to it.
