The Edgemont Chamber of Commerce, in conjunction with Dogs Across America, is sponsoring the event.

The fun run will demonstrate the pulling and traveling ability of ordinary dogs, according to a chamber news release. The dogs will run distances between four and 16 miles.

Dog handlers may have their dogs harnessed to scooters, bicycles, carts and other dryland rigs.

Humans on foot may run with their dogs.

In addition to the fun run, the daylong event in Edgemont includes a dog dress-up contest, a canine police-unit demonstration, a sled-dog mushing demonstration and a Christmas bazaar.

The run begins at 9 a.m., and other events continue throughout the day at Edgemont Theatre and Edgemont City Park.

If you don't see your comment, perhaps...

you called someone an idiot, a racist, a dope, a moron, etc. Please, no name-calling or profanity (or veiled profanity -- #$%^&*).
you rambled, failed to stay on topic or exhibited troll-like behavior intended to hijack the discussion at hand.
YOU SHOUTED YOUR COMMENT IN ALL CAPS. This is hard to read and annoys readers.
you named a business or identified a business in a way good or bad. Contact the business directly with your customer service concerns or your praise – they’ll likely appreciate your feedback.
you believe the newspaper's coverage is unfair. It would be better to write Jerry Steinley at jerry.steinley@rapidcityjournal.com or call him at 394-8427. This is a forum for community discussion, not for media criticism. We'd rather address your concerns directly.
you included an e-mail address or phone number, pretended to be someone you aren't or offered a comment that makes no sense.
you accused someone of a crime or assigned guilt or punishment to someone suspected of a crime.
your comment is in really poor taste.
