About the Run for the Dogs 5k - Palm Beach
This race is built around dogs. Runners and walkers show up together, many of them with leashed pets alongside, raising money for animal shelters and animal charities. The course has some uneven ground, so it is not entirely smooth pavement. The whole morning has a dogs-welcome energy to it, and there is food and drink at the finish line for both humans and their four-legged company.
All packet pickup happens on race morning at the event site, starting before the gun goes off. Strollers are allowed on the course, though the organizers note the uneven terrain and suggest keeping that in mind.
