Mother Nature did not disappoint.
Once again, the sun shone for the ninth annual Pooch Partners Doggie Duathlon Sunday, Aug. 9, at Coldstream’s Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park.
Other than a few protocols to accommodate COVID-19 safeguards, the fun, non-competitive event went on without a hitch.
Participants with their canine companions enjoyed the option of a two-, five- or 8.5-kilometre walk/run followed by a short swim to complete the event and collect their finisher’s ribbon, along with random prize draws donated by generous sponsors.
With cancer being the leading cause of death in dogs, funds raised at the event were donated to support the University of Guelph’s Smiling Blue Skies Cancer Fund.
The 10th annual Pooch Partners Doggie Duathlon is scheduled for Sunday, Aug 8, 2021.
