WILLIAMSTOWN — The sixth annual Humane Race went off on Sunday morning with 161 people and more than 80 dogs participating despite the damp, wet weather.
The 5-kilometer race and 1-mile fun run for kids benefits the Berkshire Humane Society. The event is held at Mount Greylock Regional High School and includes a variety of vendors and activities.
"I think everybody had a lot of fun. Unfortunately, I think we we would have had more people if the forecast had been better," said Alix Cabral, the race's director, in between goodbyes to racers as the morning waned. "But we had a lot of solid folks here ... I'm very pleased to say we had a good number considering the weather."
The cool weather is actually better for the dogs because they don't overheat, she said.
For Lucy, a 14-year-old Pomeranian gray around the muzzle, the dampness wasn't good for her arthritis. The tiny dog was being sponsored by Juliana Haubrich because her owner, Sandra Thomas, couldn't make it.
"She's done it the last two years but not this because her arthritis is bothering her," said Haubrich, cuddling Lucy. The fundraising goal is $10,000 and Cabral was hopeful the race had met that amount. Organizers wouldn't know for sure for some days, until all the checks had made their way in.
