🌲🐾 Pug Promenade FAQs — Let’s Clear a Few Things Up! 🐾🌲
We’ve had a few great questions, so here’s everything you need to know to plan your perfect morning at the Promenade:
🕘 What time should I get there?
Check-in opens at 9:00 AM! You don't have to arrive right at 9AM but come early to beat the heat, grab your raffle tickets, browse Evergreen merch, and visit our vendors and special guests. The walk begins at 10:00 AM sharp, but the fun starts the moment you arrive.
🎟️ When’s the raffle happening?
We’re targeting the drawing raffle winners at 11:15 AM, located at the open play area and finish line! That’s our plan—but as always with pugs… stay flexible and ready for a little joyful chaos.
🌳 What if it’s hot?
Robinswood Park is full of shade, and we’ve been tracking the weather—it’s looking like low to high 60s until noon. We’ll also have water stations on hand to keep everyone cool and hydrated.
🐾 Do we have to do the walk?
Not at all! We’ve got both a ½-mile and a 1-mile route, but along the way there are shortcuts that lead straight to the finish line and open play area. Whether your pug wants to strut the full course or head straight to the afterparty, there’s a path for you.
🚶♀️ And yes—the walk is totally optional.
If your pug prefers belly rubs to walking shoes, no worries! Come for the treats, raffles, playtime, and good vibes. Whether you walk or just hang out, you’ll be part of the celebration.
📋 One last thing: registration closes Thursday, July 10 at midnight!
We really want you to register in advance—that’s how we assign race bibs and make sure we’ve got a shirt in your size. Don’t wait! Get signed up and get ready for the cutest parade of the summer:
