Judges will award prizes in a variety of categories. There’s a $25 registration fee per pooch, and up to six humans can accompany their companion.

Accomplished distance runner and President/CEO of Guiding Eyes for the Blind Thomas Panek to run the United Airlines NYC Half marathon with several running guide dogs, including yellow Labrador Retriever Yukon.

Cheer on Thomas Panek, as for the first time, a blind runner will run this race — guided by a relay of three running guide dogs instead of human guides. These dogs are trained by Guiding Eyes for the Blind, a nonprofit organization that has been training service dogs for people with vision loss for the past 65 years. Thomas is running to raise awareness and funds to provide athletes who are blind with a service dog capable of guiding while running. An accomplished distance runner who is blind, Thomas will partner with a relay of three Labrador Retrievers who will pace him one at a time on the 13.1-mile race course. A team of veterinarians and volunteers stationed along the course will provide vet check-ups and ensure the team’s hydration, health and safety. Three yellow labs, Lynx, Waffle and Yukon, and one black lab, Westley, are logging in miles training for the upcoming race. Gus, a yellow lab and the first running guide dog to complete a sanctioned New York Road Runners and Boston Athletic Association Event as a running guide, will pace Panek for the final 5K across the finish line. Gus will officially retire as Thomas’ personal guide dog and running partner and trade in his Ruffwear UniFly Guide Dog Harness for a medal.
