Research Dog-Friendly Events with the Dog Race Database

Have you ever wondered where you can take your pooch for a competitive run? From color runs to warrior dashes and more, there is a growing number of dog-friendly races around the country, but not very many people know about them.

Bethany D. Merillat, MS, MEd recently completed extensive research into these races and has created a very handy dog race database where you can find dog-friendly events near and far. It’s the largest, most comprehensive database of dog-friendly events to date. Check for races here.

While you’re there, check out Bethany’s research to learn about the methods she used to create the dog race database, and her findings about the relationship between human health and dogs. You may be surprised just how much your four-legged friends can help your overall wellness.
