Packs and pack members that raise the most money will earn various rewards, or doggie treats."

Participants can also register and walk individually. A $25 fee will be charged for each walker with no additional charge for the dog. The course is approximately one mile and will be limited to 3,000 participants. Pre-registration packets will be available at the end of August and pre-registration is suggested to avoid a wait on the day of the event.
