Wagging the Trails

Westchester Parks Foundation is holding its 2^nd Annual Mutts on the Mountain Race at Blue Mountain Reservation in Peekskill from 8-12.

Bring your pup to what promises to be the largest dog gathering in the area this year.

Sign up for the 5K Trail race — 3.1 miles of steep climbs and rock scrambles. Check in at 8, the race begins at 9:15.

For those looking for an easier romp, the Lazy Dog 1M Fun Run is just the ticket. You’ll be able to explore a portion of Blee Mountain’s extensive trail system and take in views of the lake. Check in at 8, the race begins at 9:30.

The fee is $50 for each human-canine entry in the 5K, and $25 in the 1M Fun Run. All teams will receive dry-fit T-shirts and “Mutts” bandanas. Proceeds will go to support the Foundation’s mission to engage the public to advocate for investment in the preservation, conservation, use, and enjoyment of the 18,000 acres of parks, trails, and open space within the County Parks system.

To register, call 231-4600 or visit thewpf.org/event/mutts2017.
