Just in time for National Dog Week, Pearland Parks and Recreation is excited to introduce Ruff Runner, the re-imagined, pet-themed race for all ages. The run will feature a 5k for avid runners, while the 1k and 3k options will continue with the paw-pular opportunity to run with or without a four-legged friend.
