Tahoe Mountain Milers partner with Carson City Guide Dog Club for Nevada Day Classic
An annual event since 1989, The Nevada Day Classic — presented by the Tahoe Mountain Milers — is an 8K run, a 2-mile run/walk through the historic west side of Carson City. The races precede the Nevada Day Parade celebrating Nevada's entry into the Union.
This year, for the race's 25th anniversary and the Nevada’s 150th, the Classic will be organized in partnership with the Carson City Guide Dog Club and all net proceeds will go to Guide Dogs For The Blind.
As one of the premier guide dog training organizations in the world GDB is a non-profit, contributor-supported organization (receiving no government funds) that provides blind and visually impaired individuals with professionally trained Guide Dogs they use as mobility assistants. GDB was founded in 1942 to serve returning World War II Veterans who lost their sight during the war and now serves blind and visually impaired persons throughout the U.S. and Canada.
Local guide dogs and guide dog puppies-in-training will be walking and/or working as route marshals for the Walk portion of the event. To meet your local Guide Dog puppies in training, invite family and friends to register for the run/walk and join a truly fun and festive morning.
Guide Dog puppies are raised by volunteers who love, nurture and socialize puppies as they grow and mature enough to enter into formal training at Guide Dogs for the Blind and become a guide dog.
Registration is open for what promises to be the best and biggest Classic ever! To register go online here or visit the Tahoe Mountain Milers website!
