Doggie Dash to Give Canines a Second Chance

doggie dash2Join thousands of animal lovers on May 14 at Waterfront Park to celebrate the 29th annual OHS Doggie Dash. We’ll walk/run with our dogs on car-free streets and enjoy a pet-friendly festival featuring live music, food and drink, contests and more.
Doggie Dash has a very ambitious goal this year: to raise $600,000 to help shelter pets. Everyone who participates will be helping to find homes for pets in need, fight animal cruelty, and give second chances to thousands of animals from shelters across the region.
Doggie Dash details:
The registration tent handles both day-of registration and, if you pre-registered online, race bib pick-up. The registration tent opens at 7:30 am on May 14.
Online registration will close at 11:30 pm Thursday, May 12. You can still register on-site at the Dash on Saturday morning until 8:30 am. The registration tent is located in the park near the intersection of SW Naito Parkway and SW Pine St. (near the Battleship Oregon monument).
We suggest you pick up your registration bib in advance at one of four pick-up locations (TBA) to avoid waiting in line. If you can’t pick up in advance or you are registering the day of the event, please arrive at the registration tent no later than 8:30 am.
