The old saying goes, if your dog is over-weight, you are not getting enough exercise. We are excited to meet with other local active, and not so active, dog owners who are interested in running (or walking) with their dog for general fitness or to lose a couple extra pounds (both you and your dog). Runners and walkers are welcome. The goal of the group is too share dog friendly races in the area and to provide a forum so that dog owners can meet and train together.

We are a friendly group of Meetup organizers from across the U.S. and Canada who specialize in dog meetups.  We don't have actual face to face meetups, but we do get to know each other through our active "Discussions" section.  We are here to help each other with problem solving, meetup advice and useful information. Our Forum is open to all dog meetup organizers, co-organizers and assistant organizers everywhere in the US and Canada. Come join us to exchange ideas.

I started this group because I am both passionate about Jesus Christ and dogs. I have always wanted to find a place of belonging both as a Christ-centered Christian and as a dog lover.
