No sunshine? No problem. The start of daylight saving time and the arrival of clouds and rain didn’t deter Sunday’s annual Doggie Dash and 5K at Piedmont Park.
The Doggie Dash is presented by Piedmont Park Conservancy and benefits Piedmont Park Dog Parks. The group says the dog parks attract more than 700,000 visitors each year.

Besides the 5K component, the dog-friendly dash is about a mile long. The annual event is held rain or shine.

Participants with and without dogs were encouraged to experience (soggy) Piedmont Park alongside the many four-legged friends joining in the fun.
