Why we include our K9's
Aloha family, both BZAK BUILDERS & PGB founders believes that a dog is a man's best friend, right?
We contend that in reality, a dog is a runner's best friend. Think about it. As happy as he is to see you when you come home, isn't he even happier when he sees that leash?
For those of you who have never taken your dog out for a jog, you're seriously missing out (and so is your pooch)!
PGB Corporate 5K Gold Star "ALOHA K9 & RAISE THE ROOF 5K Edition", is a dog friendly event, for the 2025 edition we are welcoming the first 50 dogs to participate in the 5K with their owners.
5 Reasons to Run with Your Dog. (by Kelsey Sharon)
In hopes to convince you to make your best friend your new running buddy, here are five reasons why running with your dog is the best idea.
1. They give you an excuse to take a break.
2. They push (aka pull you) on the run.
3. They motivate you to start.
4. They make you meet new people (and dogs).
5. Finally, they make it fun.
So, here’s to all the dogs out there hitting the pavement at the "ALOHA K9 & RAISE THE ROOF 5K Edition" event with their runner pals. Man’s best friend? Definitely. But a runner’s best friend? Even more so, because who else can identify with that wide-eyed, beauty-seeking attitude of a runner better than a dog? Anyone else run with your dog? What are some of your reasons or your best stories?
Important Information
MANDATORY:
1-All dogs participating must be current on their rabies vaccine.
2-All dogs participating should be friendly towards other dogs, children and adults.
3-All dogs must participate with a leash at all times.
Join us for our 1st ever 5K-9 Fun Run hosted presented by: BZAK BUILDERS. This will be a family friendly event which includes your dogs, because we all know dogs are family too. We hope you take part in the beginning of something great and we look forward to seeing you!
