Do people tell you that you and your dog look alike? Or maybe you love showing off your perfect matchy‑matchy style? Join us for the Doppelganger Dash, where duos of humans and their small or medium pups race together in a fun, lighthearted dash.

Whether you truly resemble your dog or just enjoy coordinating outfits, this Sunday only event within Fall for YOU is all about celebrating the special bond between you and your four‑legged twin!

Races begin at 2 p.m. on Sunday, October 25th.

All participants must register before October 23 through online sign-up form. Details and Registration found here.
