WAGATHON is a cumulative marathon that you and your dog can do anywhere, at your own pace, through September’s National Guide Dog Month.
The ultimate goal is to hit 26.2 miles by September 30 – participation is simple, whether you run or walk a 5K, a 10K, a half or full marathon, the goal is to stay active and have FUN all while raising critical funds to support Guiding Eyes for the Blind’s mission: to provide guide dogs to people with vision loss.
Get ready to grab your leashes and hit the ground running! No pup? No problem! Walk or run in honor of one of our puppies and help them become a guide dog.
Take part and register as an individual or join a team. Set your fundraising goal and encourage your friends and family to make donations.
Support a walker by donating to help them reach their fundraising goal.
Promote an individual’s or team’s WAGATHON on social media and help spread the word by encouraging others to register and donate
