🐾 **Happy National Dog Day!** 🐾

Want to know one of the BEST things you can do for your dog?

**Give them an adventure to look forward to.** 🐕💨

Dogs don’t care about fancy things. They want **time with you.** They want to move, explore, sniff, run, play, and experience something new alongside their favorite human.

That’s why signing up for the **Rehab Rover Canicross & Trail Race** might just be the best National Dog Day gift you can give them. ❤️

It’s more than a race.

It’s training together.
It’s getting outside together.
It’s building confidence together.
It’s strengthening your bond.
And it’s creating memories you’ll both carry long after you cross that finish line.

Plus, your dog gets to run through the woods with you attached to them.

Honestly… **what more could a dog ask for?** 😂🐶

So skip the squeaky toy they’ll destroy in 14 minutes.

Skip the treat they’ll eat in 30 seconds.

**Give them an EXPERIENCE.**

🎽 Grab your gear.
🐕 Bring your best running buddy.
🌲 Hit the trails.
🏁 Cross the finish line together.

**This National Dog Day, give your dog the gift of YOU—and an adventure worth barking about.**

🐾 **Register for the Rehab Rover Canicross & Trail Race!** 🐾

Because the best memories aren't made sitting on the couch.

**They're made together.** ❤️🐕💨

Vanessa Fraser ran the fastest mile of her career. She had a co-pilot on the front end.

The Saucony pro clocked 4:31 at a local road race, pulled by her dog Gigi through a season-best effort that beat her indoor mile PB from her Stanford days.

Fraser is one of the best American 5000m and 10,000m runners of her generation. Seven-time All-American. World Championships mile aspirant. Her indoor mile at Stanford was a 4:42.27. Her outdoor mile until this month sat in the same neighborhood.

Four thirty-one changes the map.

"It feels like you're flying," she said of running with Gigi on a lead.

Canicross is a proper sport. World championships, national teams, ratified world records. On the road, in a local mile, with a dog for encouragement, the ratifiers are not watching. Fraser is not chasing a certified mark. She is chasing a feeling.

The fastest human-dog mile ever run is 4:13. That was Brian Duff and his Weimaraner in Santa Barbara. Fraser and Gigi are in the same conversation now.

Her regular training will not have a lead attached. Some of her best days apparently might.
