Good Dog Rising and Dog Scouts of America Troop 161 invite you for another super-informal run/walk in the park with dogs. No entry fees, no chip timing, nothing fancy, just friends meeting up for a little outdoors quality time with our dogs prior to the big feast. Everybody wins.
All are welcome! Walkers and runners alike are welcome, and there will be places to shorten or lengthen the path if you like. Choose your distance and path - there are paved trails, and it would be pretty hard to actually get lost!
Pull into the Army Heritage and Education Center parking lot, and look for the bunch of people with dogs. It's easy to find, easy to park, and the course is a nice, easy to follow trail that has some gradual grades but mostly flat. The AHEC trail is also very educations, and you can get cool photos of your dog with tanks and stuff! The plan is to start around 9am, so plan to get there a few minutes early.
To make it most fun for humans and dogs alike, we'd prefer kind collars and harnesses (no prongy, chokey, or shockey stuff), and no flexi-leashes please. Human attire is at your discretion - remember, there is no bad weather, only inadequate clothing!
We welcome GDR alumni and non-GDR-alumni alike, members of Dog Scout Troop 161 or those interested in Dog Scouts - so bring a friend! Dogs not required, so if yours isn't super social, you're welcome to come stag and hang out with other good dog people.
If it's just a little misty, we'll still walk - if it's pouring out, we'll post right here if we don't plan to be there. But you can still go if you're tougher than we are!
