Allora, c'è questa Scaredy Cat K95K, una 5K tra camminata e corsa, perfetta per la stagione di Halloween. Si fa con i vostri cani, alla Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine della Tufts University, a North Grafton, Massachusetts. La gara, quella in presenza, parte dal campus center su Westboro Road; tutti i ritmi sono i benvenuti, sia che tu cammini, corra, venga con la famiglia, in squadra o da solo con il tuo amico a quattro zampe. E mi raccomando, venite in costume! Per i cani che partecipano all'evento sul campus, serve il certificato di vaccinazione antirabbica aggiornato, e solo loro possono prendere parte alla prova specifica per gli animali. L'evento, poi, è super importante perché supporta la cura veterinaria e il benessere degli animali. I soldi raccolti vanno a MVMA Charities, che finanzia le cure d'emergenza per animali abbandonati o randagi in Massachusetts, e al Travis Fund della Tufts University, che aiuta a curare animali trovati e animali domestici i cui padroni non riescono a coprire le spese veterinarie. Dopo la 5K, ci sarà una fiera dedicata a salute e fitness, con musica, bancarelle locali e dimostrazioni cinofile, e non mancherà un premio per il cucciolo più stiloso! C'è anche l'opzione di fare una 5K virtuale per tutto ottobre, così chi ha animali che non possono venire al campus può comunque partecipare.
