About the 2025 RACE at Your Own Pace to #ShadeOutDM
This is a virtual event, meaning you move wherever you are, on whatever day works for you, covering whatever distance feels right. The cause is Degenerative Myelopathy, a genetic disease in dogs that is preventable through responsible breeding. Runners, walkers, cyclists, skaters, swimmers, and riders on horseback can all take part, as can people with disabilities and dogs in mobility devices.
