{Inspired by our friends in Boerne, Texas…}
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, perfect timing for the
Sherlock 5K .5k Dogwalk.
This event will raise important research funding for Earlier.org - Friends for an Earlier Breast Cancer Test® in support of their mission to identify a biological test for the EARLIER DETECTION of breast cancer. OK, yeah…blah blah blah fundraising, yes…but let’s be honest…a 5k?...all the while the dogs are panting and hot and thinking…
”Do I look like I want to be out here running a 5K with you?!...NO, I just wanted a quick walk to pee and then back to my day of lounging and play!”
So…this year…the DOGS STRIKE BACK!
This fantastic festival of fun is named after the chocolate lab whose playful scratch led to the detection of our founder Martha Kaley’s breast cancer. Sherlock has since passed, but what better way to honor this best friend & raise funding for this very important cause than to commit to walking a…wait for it…
FULL (or not, up to you) .31 miles…a whole 1640.42 feet?!
It’s a short, short walk – because we really want to get to the food, drinks and FUN! ALL are welcome!
Registration is FREE – Donations are encouraged & appreciated.
Pre-register (closes at 12 midnight 9/21) to be entered for DOOR PRIZES!...

So....this picture here is just to show you how much fun we have with a big crowd of great dogs and great people (thank you Robert Chou Photography). We are not doing this whole "bib number" run and walk forever thing this year. But you WILL get one of those super cool, slightly pretentious stickers to put on you car so everyone knows you hoofed out a FULL .5k with that precious pup of yours!!!
