After a week of rain, the sun came out just as the hounds were released for the 3rd annual Pets Come First Dog Jog 5K. More than 100 runners, many with their dogs, completed the loop around the Grange Fairgrounds in Centre Hall. The race featured a new course including some grassy cross country sections and a surprisingly hilly course for the "flat" location at the Grange Fairgrounds.
Race sponsor Tom Cali was first across the line for the third year in a row, followed by Adam Wetzel and Greg Luna, both of whom have also previously placed in the top three. All three ran with dogs.The top three open and masters men and women received awards, and the top overall, rescue, veteran, small, medium, and large dogs with male and female runners received special dog awards.
Before and after the race, runners and their dogs and families enjoyed a pet fair, silent auction, food vendors, and what turned out to be a warm, sunny day.
Thanks to all of the race volunteers and sponsors, and an extra big special thanks to Dave Eggler for timing a race with so many unusual award categories.
