Pinoy Dog-Lover

Is it obvious I’m so excited for this upcoming event? Well, I am! You see, my husband and I have been joining fun runs lately — for health and bonding purposes. We’ve been wishing we could bring our little Shih Tzus along, but the shortest distance event there is in a human run race is usually 3km — a distance too far for my short-legged sweethearts. Besides, it’s really not advisable to bring dogs to a human race event. The sheer number of people in one place could be hazardous for the humans and the dogs themselves. And that’s why I can’t wait for TailRunners: The Metro Dog Run 2010!!!

For the first time, a race event tailor-made to accommodate dogs! The race kits include not only singlets for human racers, but “race bandanas” and poop scooper for their canine partners as well But that’s not all… The race event categories and race maps were also made for dogs in mind — 1.5km, 3km and 5km. The 1.5km event is a realistic distance for short-legged fur-babies like mine — Shantee can do 2km walkies, did you know? Winners will receive prizes. Though Shantee and I don’t have illusions of winning the race, we’re still banking on finishing it!

Can’t run? Well, you and your dog can still join in the fun! At around 6:15am, fun games will begin for non-runners. A lot of activities are planned from 4:00am to 10:00am on race day, dog-lovers like you just shouldn’t miss it!

TailRunners: The Metro Dog Run 2010 will be held on Saturday, 17 April 2010 at the SM Mall of Asia and is co-presented by Royal Canin, Pet Express, and MyPetChannel.tv. For more details, visit the official TailRunners microsite. See you there!!!
