Why for Team Dog Star?

  • Dog Star swag to wear with pride
  • Access to our private team tent: drop your gear, rest up, and enjoy a porta-potty that’s all yours. Think of us as your doggie dugout.
  • Tiered Fundraising Prizes: Hit fundraising milestones and unlock gifts from our amazing sponsors.
  • Post-Race Celebration with Team Dog Star — Meet your fellow runners, toast your finish, and share some belly rubs with our furry VIPs the day after the marathon at our Bloomfield headquarters.
