From beginners to advanced, we invite runners of every level to participate in one or more of these fun 5K summer runs. Earn some serious doggy bling whether you choose to run around the neighborhood, on a treadmill or even through the dog park with your favorite four-legged friend. Plus, it’s a great way to train for your next runDisney race or experience the excitement…all from your own backyard!
Wanna know more? Here are the details on how you can earn these adorable Pluto-inspired medals.
