HOT DOG RUN IS GOING VIRTUAL!
Proud Hot Dog Run 2019 Finisher
While we wait for the green light to be able to host large community events safely in Midland (or anywhere!) once again, we've decided to host an exciting new event, Hot Dog Run - Virtual Edition - 10K/5K/1 Mile!
WHAT IN THE WORLD IS A VIRTUAL RUN?
It's just like a regular run, the only difference is that on race day, you will be the only one at the starting line!
It's just as fun, just as challenging, and, most importantly, it's a SAFER way to flex your racing muscles!
Join the Virtual Hot Dog Run in the name of fun & fitness -- while helping to raise much-needed funds for the MHC Adoption Center. Homeless cats & dogs have not stopped coming in and out of the Center and we could really use all the help we can get!
We encourage you to find safe ways to get involved and get active -- it is more important than ever to take care of our health and wellness as individuals and as a community.
HOW TO RUN A VIRTUAL RUN
1. REGISTER. Hit the REGISTER NOW button. Registration fee is $20 - it goes toward a good cause! Don't forget to challenge your friends and family to join, too.
Once registered, pick up your race packet on June 19, 2020 between 10-6pm at Midland Athletic Company (3326 N Midkiff Rd, Midland, TX 79705). First 250 to register will get a Virtual Hot Dog Run medal, plus you can purchase a really cool t-shirt to match.
2. RUN (or walk) 10K/5K/1Mile -- anytime, anywhere! Do laps around your yard, at the local park, your neighborhood or hop on a treadmill! If you don't feel like running alone, grab your 4-legged running partner (your dog will be overjoyed to be outdoors again).
REMINDER: Make sure you complete your desired goal between the virtual race period from June 20 - 21, 2020.
3. RECORD. Be as creative as you want to be - we encourage you to share your fun photos with us! Take a picture with your running buddy, your race route, your victory dance or whatever cool thing you come across on your run. Don't forget to take a picture of your tracking watch/app as official proof of your race results!
TO SUBMIT RACE RESULTS OFFICIALLY (optional), go to the Results Page and enter your registration number and finish time. You will be asked to upload proof of completion (e.g. a screenshot of your tracking app or photo of your GPS watch).

ABOUT HOT DOG RUN...
WHAT IS HOT DOG RUN?
The Annual Hot Dog Run is one of Midland Humane Coalition’s biggest fundraisers each year. It raises important funds that fuel our operations at the Adoption Center. MHC’s mission is to rescue healthy, adoptable pets from euthanasia and find them furr-ever homes. We also provide much-needed resources to the community such as low-cost Shot & Microchip Clinics and educate the public on responsible pet ownership, proper pet care, and humane alternatives to surrendering pets.
LAST YEAR'S HOT DOG RUN
We had a record-breaking 391 participants during the 5th Annual Hot Dog Run in 2019 - the most we've ever had and that's not counting the dogs and kids!
This year, the 6th Annual Hot Dog Run - LIVE RACE - is scheduled for October 2020. We are hoping to get the green light to start hosting large community events by then. Stay tuned for more information!
