The winner of this year’s Dog Jog logo contest is Gracie Nichols, one of our youngest winners ever. This talented Pinon fourth grader produced a clever and imaginative drawing showing a free-spirited dog enjoying nature and the great outdoors. Her drawing will be the official logo for this year’s Dog Jog event and she will receive a free t-shirt featuring her artwork. The winners are chosen on the basis of artistic merit, creativity and originality.
The other young artists recognized this year include our 2nd place winner, 3rd-grader Miller Gauss, and 3rd place for Clara Nichols and 4th place for Riley Stark. Honorable mentions go to entries from Heather Gauss, Aurora Matzke-Rubio, Hudson Ayers, and Liesl Whitton, all talented 3 graders. We want to thank all of our young artists for their talent and enthusiasm. We encourage the younger artists to enter again in future years.
The 2025 Los Alamos Dog Jog will be held on Saturday, April 26th at 9 a.m. at Rover Park in White Rock. For more information, visit our website www.lafos.org. We hope to see you there. To save $5, pre-register by Sunday April 6 – send your registration form and payment to Dog Jog Registrar at 155 Monte Rey S., Los Alamos, NM 87547.
Dogs, of course, not only get to participate for free, they get a special doggie prize at the finish line. The 2025 Dog Jog offers both a timed 5K course and a non-competitive 2- mile walk. And we will be holding to our very fun post-race prize ceremony. We will have prizes for fastest doggie finishers and for cutest ears, best wag, and many other fine doggie characteristics.
You can get entry forms at Pet Pangaea and Ridgeview Veterinary Hospital or download one at www.lafos.org. And we will have day-of registration starting at 8:10 a.m. at Rover Park. All participants will get a t-shirt with Gracie’s fun and engaging design!
