Dr Cabreros open the event and announcing the run will start soon.

Itis my first time to join a fun run because of busy schedules but this I made anexception. I am a dog lover and have been surrounded all my life with pets. Itis an opportune time for my Peanut and Moccah to meet other dogs and have fun.

Our beloved Kuya has arrived, Moccah and Peanut excited for the fun run.

Theassembly time was 5:00 am at Iligan City Plaza. We arrive just in time for therun. We registered and enjoyed watching the other dogs and owners. HoweverMoccah and Peanut were frantic with the loud music, seeing the large breed dogsand the people passing around and appreciating them.

The frantic Moccah wants to climb to Ate's arms.

People and pets are assembling to start the run.

On your marks, ready, GO!

Therewere four categories. These are the 1.5 k with dogs, 3k with dogs, 1.5 kwithout dogs and 3k without dogs. The package of the run included alsoanti-rabies vaccination. Various people with different walks of life joinedalong with their pet dogs and even a troop of soldiers joined the event. Siberianhuskies, golden retrievers, chow chows, Labradors, German shepherds, toy dogsand mixed breed puppies joined.

For the 1.5k run, the route is from Aguinaldo St turning to Roxas Avenue and turning point is 3 meters away from the Cosmopolitan Funeral Homes. The 3k run goes all the way to Andres Bonifacio Avenue near the Petron Gas station besides Kristine's bakeshop.

 

This little guy is probably now so excited to run.

An acquaintance, BenjoEscalona and pet Tyler is waiting for the race. They won second prize in the 3k category.

Ready to race with her big baby.

Jogging session for this troop. We salute you.

Wejoined the 1.5 k categories since Peanut and Moccah are mixed poodle and ShihTzu. The run took about 30 minutes for us. They were hovering over me and triedto climb up to me at the start of the run but they endured until the end and surprisinglythey enjoyed. When I do take them for a walk I would drag them because theywill just sit even in 5 minutes time. I am very proud.

Happy Peanut and Kuya turning around already for the 1.5 k run.

Station for the 1.5k runners. We are thirsty.

I want 5 liters of water Dad.

Fully packed station 1, Dogs are definitely thristy.

It's good that I bought my cup. I am thirsty as hell and tired too.

He doesn't want to move after the 1st half of the run. His Daddy has to convince him to finish the race. Go for it!

Station 2 for the 3k runners.

I want this dog.

This St Bernard must have been in super heat that they decided to walk leisurely with his bestfriend.

Lets sweat this!

We just finished the race. So proud of my babies.

Afterthe run, the owners and their pets were allowed to rest and given treats.Awhile after, a doggie blessing was done led by a local priest. I was veryhappy to have them baptized of some sort. (pics)
