I am all about running for a cause and supporting charities. I believe that if you have the means to make a difference, then make it happen. I use my Charity Miles app on my Iphone often and ran my first marathon raising $1500 for the American Cancer Society.
So when I read about the Puppy Run, I absolutely loved the idea. It's a family and/or dog-oriented swag filled virtual run that supports a canine-related charity for dogs in need. A portion of every registration will make a huge impact on those pups lives.
In case you've never participated in a virtual run, here's how it works. Instead of all the runners meeting up in one location, the run can be done anywhere on your own time. Participants register online (registration is open now until 5-13-15 at 11:59PM or until sell-out). You can run it solo, with a team of people, or with a child or dog.
Once registration closes, the swag is mailed out and arrives straight to your doorstep!! Then register to submit your results, qualifying you for awards and prizes.
Get out and run your selected distance then submit the results online. It's that easy! Let me tell you about the sweet things that come with the run...
There's distance options of a 5K, 10K, or 1/2 marathon and also has registration options for kids and dogs with their own specific swag items.
*All adults receive a custom shirt, finisher medal, bib, and sticker.
*All kids receive a draw-string bag, folder frisbee, finisher medal, bib, and sticker.
*Dogs receive a bandana, collapsible water bowl, and doggy treat :)

This is a fantastic opportunity to get out with a group of friends or family to enjoy the spring weather and help make a difference in a dog's life. Or take your pooch out for some exercise and some bonding time. I know my 4 year old daughter will love this!
