On 15th May MileShyClub hosted its first Dog Run and what a great start to a Sunday it was! In total we had 12 runners and a similar number of dogs that arrived at TreeTops café for introductions before heading down to the waterpark for our warm up. The warm up was led by Jane Dennison which, of course, was dog themed with warm ups including ‘Chase your Tail’, ‘Open the Puppy Coop’ and ‘Scoop up the p*o’. Once all humans and dogs were warmed up we ran around Sale Water Park with runners running at a pace that suited them and their four legged friends. Some decided to run one lap others decided to run two and some took the opportunity to walk but everyone finished the run feeling better than when they started.

After the run all runners and dogs gathered at the café for a well-deserved coffee catch up (and sausages).

Feedback from Coby a 2 year old Cockapoo:

‘It was a wonderful morning, I loved running because I get lots of treats on the way round. My owner looked tired after a lap so I thought I would be nice and go for a swim so he could catch his breath, I then cooled him down by shaking myself dry beside him to ensure he got extra wet. I enjoyed the run, but my highlight of the morning was definitely the sausage I got afterwards!! I can’t wait to do another one and make new friends‘

We will be having our second dog run in August, keep an eye out on the Facebook group for more information or email hello@mileshyclub.com.
