Any of your dogs huffing like Portrush parkrun’s Juno? If so, you know what to do…

https://www.waggy-races.com/theportstewartstrand5k-878022.html

If like Juno, your dog is in a massive huff because of the current restrictions on East Strand - show them this to get their tails wagging again.
The happiest race in the country is back at Portstewart in September!!
