Furry 5K

June 20th, 2010

Spent the morning yesterday volunteering as a photographer at the Furry 5K, a fun run/fundraiser for the Seattle Animal Shelter. Great support was provided by local companies from dog trainers, to pet food, to veterinary services, and there were demonstrations of agility and frisbee dogs as well. Great to see so many people out running with their dogs, even though it rained. You might imagine that an event like this would be chaos, but in the entire day I only heard one incident between dogs – the hundreds of animals in the park, from tiny to giant, were all remarkably well-behaved. A couple of my favorite shots from the day below.

For attendees looking for their photos, including finish line photos, you can find the full gallery of images here. These are free to download for your use – just use the “add to cart” button (the “download image” button is for high-rez originals – contact me if you want a higher resolution version of your picture). Enjoy!
