Pet Express DOGGIE RUN 2013

They say that good things come in 3's, so you'd better get ready for another fun-filled day with your dogs and fellow dog lovers at the Pet Express Doggie Run Year 3! On March 23, 2013 (Saturday), expect 1000 doggie runners and their humans to hit the streets of SM Mall of Asia at the Pet Express Doggie Run 2013. Participants may register in the 1.5K, 3K, or 5K race categories.

Runners will get an event running shirt, race bib, and timing chip, while the doggie runners get a doggie bandana and doggie race bib they can personalize. All dog registrants who crosses the finish line will get their very own doggie finisher medal and loot bag.

Also featured during the run is the exciting dog sport, Flyball, a team relay game that will surely make you get up on your feet and cheer. This exhibition game, in cooperation with PCCI (Philippine Canine Club Inc.) is a sneak peek into the next big thing in dog sports that will hit the Philippines.

Part of the proceeds of the Doggie Run 2013 will be donated to PAWS (The Philippine Animal Welfare Society). Come and enjoy the sponsor game booths, souvenir photos, and raffle prizes that are up for grabs.

Registration is ongoing in all Pet Express branches (Corinthian Hills, Greenhills, SM Cubao, SM Hypermarket Makati, SM City Masinag, SM City North Edsa, and SM Mall of Asia) until March 20, 2012. Registration will be continued in Mall of Asia branch from March 21-23. On-site registration during the race day will depend on the availability of race kits. Race fee is P500 for the Doggie Race Kit and P400 for the Human Race Kit.
