Who let the dogs out? These Pointers dogs are members of the Point Loma High School (PLHS) cross-country team, and they’re inviting neighbors to run and walk with them in a big upcoming event that promises fun for everyone. The second annual “Hungry Dog Dash,” a 5K run and walk event, takes place March 25 at Liberty Station, and organizers are promising a doggone good time for all. Proceeds from the event will benefit PLHS cross-country team runners. Starting at 8 a.m. from NTC Park, runners and walkers will enjoy waterfront views in this USA Track & Field sanctioned event. There are several dash features that should leave both human and canine participants’ tails wagging. Dogs and strollers are allowed and encouraged, and participants will receive a Hungry Dog Dash T-shirt, goodie bags and dog tags. A “Poker Run” (extra fee), where persons along the course receive cards, is also planned with the best poker hand at the finish line receiving a special prize. Awards will go to the top three male and female finishers in each division. In addition, a Finish Line Festival will feature music, a Community Vendor Village and PLHS Club Carnival with many clubs and organizations presenting carnival games and activities for all in attendance.  Those wishing to trot along may pre-register at www.hungrydogdash.org. An online form and instructions are posted including directions to the event venue. Male and female divisions cover the following age ranges: 10 and under, 11-13, 14-18, 19-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59 and 60-plus. Early registration has closed. However, current prices are $30 for adults or $35 day of event, and $25 for ages 10-18 or $30 day of event. A Family Pack for an entire family includes two T-shirts and is priced at $70, or $80 day of event. The “Poker Run” option adds $10 to the cost, and for those who prefer to sleep in on March 25, an event T-shirt can be purchased for $15 to support the PLHS cross-country team.
