BreatheStrong+ Dog Days of Summer

🐾 Shelly's back. 🐾

And she's ready to help you finish your summer strong!

Join BreatheStrong+ for our annual Dog Days of Summer Challenge, where you'll spend August (August 3 - Sept 6) getting ready for your own 5K walk or run on Labor Day, Monday, September 7.

Why Labor Day?
Labor Day is when BreatheStrong CF hosts the 16th Annual Big Peach Sizzler 10K & 5K in Atlanta, Georgia. Even if you can't be there in person, you can still be part of the excitement! Wherever you live, you can complete your own Sizzler on the Go! 5K and celebrate alongside our community while supporting BreatheStrong CF.

Whether you're a seasoned runner, just getting started, or prefer to walk, Dog Days of Summer is designed to meet you where you are. Our walking and running training plans will help you build confidence, stay motivated, and cross your own finish line.

Throughout August, you'll receive:

• 🐶 Weekly training plans for walkers and runners
• 💙 Encouraging emails and motivational messages from Shelly, BreatheStrong CF's Chief Barketing Officer
• 🎉 A supportive community cheering you on every step of the way

Choose the package that's right for you! Registration options range from FREE to $45, making it easy for everyone to participate.

Invite your family, recruit your friends, or start a neighborhood team. Make your 5K a celebration, no matter where you are!
