Stroll along the wide path by the water feature in beautiful Bellevue Downtown Park (about a half mile around) lined with shady trees and benches (if you want to take a break). It is not a race, but a fun day to celebrate with our senior dogs! There are also paths that go to the center lawn for a shorter walk. You can walk as much (or as little) as you and your dog can do!

Plus, this year enjoy or enter the first ever Old Dog Olympiad!

Events include the Chariot Race, 50 Yard Crawl and Longest Nap. There will be medals for the winners of course! Enter your old dog or just watch the fun.

Register, sponsor, create a team or join a team right here.

Don't forget to ask your friends, family, coworkers, and companies to sponsor you!

The registration fee is $25. Everyone who registers receives a free tote bag and other goodies from our sponsors. Plus there are prizes for the teams who raise the most money!
