The event is dedicated to supporting animal welfare and community projects through a fun run and walk along the Long Beach shoreline. Participants can choose to run or walk alongside their dogs, with events designed for both runners and their pets. The event includes a post-race festival featuring an adoption event by Long Beach Animal Care Services, and offers race t-shirts, finisher medals, and awards. Proceeds benefit Long Beach Animal Care Services and the Signal Hill Rotary's community project fund. Dogs must be leashed, non-aggressive, and stay on designated paths.
