Dog Tag Run 2.2 Mile

The Dog Tag Run 2.2 Mile is a meaningful event held at Gardiner County Park in Bay Shore, NY, supporting Operation VEST, an organization dedicated to ending veteran suicide. Scheduled for June 8, 2025, this trail run/walk offers a 2.2-mile course with options for running, walking, or rucking with weighted packs. A special Dog Division allows participants to register their dogs, who receive their own chip-timed bib, bandana, and dog tag, with proceeds benefiting Paws of War.

The event fosters a supportive atmosphere for veterans, families, and friends, featuring awards, refreshments, and fundraising opportunities to combat veteran suicide and honor military service. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
