WILLIAMSTOWN — Mount Greylock Regional High School will once again host the annual Humane Race and Dog Jog to benefit the Berkshire Humane Society on Sunday, May 4.
Now in its sixth year, the event invites those with four legs as well as two to jog, walk or run the 5 kilometer and the 1-mile fun run for kids under 12.
More than $25,000 has been raised to help support the Humane Society shelter on Barker Road in Pittsfield; the race has also given away more than $17,000 worth of prizes to participants.
The 5 kilometer (3.11 mile) event will be run along the high school's cross country course through woods and fields. Participants don't have to have a dog to run with, but canine companions are welcome. Those who don't want to run can jog or walk the course.
Humans and dogs are encouraged to train for the event. Dogs must be older than 6 months, have proof of rabies and be leashed.
The day begins with registration at 8 a.m.; awards will be presented at 10:45. Timing will be by Finish Right Timing of Saratoga, N.Y.
The also will include a visit by Williamstown Officer Michael Ziemba and Blue the bloodhound, recently recovered from being hit by a car.
There will be dog agility demonstrations by Sugar Bush Farm of Stephentown, N.Y.; music by "D.J. Feel the Love" Mark Santella and refreshments and food for all racers.
Canine participants will receive doggie bandanas and the first 100 5K human entrants will get T-shirts. Prizes and medals will be awarded to the top three finishers in each age group.
Advance registration is $5 for the fun run and $20 for the 5K; race day registration is $10 for the fun run and $25 for the 5K. Registration is available online by clicking here.
