Calling All Dogs! Grand Doggie Marshal Contest

The Bellevue Four on the 4th Dog Jog & Walk is calling for nominations for this year's Grand Doggie Marshal, a title awarded to the cutest dog in East King County. Taking place on July 4, the event will feature a non-competitive 4K jog and a variety of family-friendly activities, including a dog costume contest and a kids' bouncy house. The Grand Doggie Marshal will kick off the festivities and help judge the costume competition, making this a prestigious role for any pup. Nominations must be submitted by June 10, 2018, with the winner determined by public vote. This annual event not only aims to entertain but also supports a noble cause, benefiting Seattle Humane.

Participants will gather at Ashwood Park for check-in at 7:30 a. m. and can expect a warm-up session before the race starts at 9:00 a. m. The event is designed to foster community spirit and bring dog lovers together for a day of fun.

Registration is available online, encouraging pet owners to join in the celebration and support a worthy cause.
