_ The 2019 Hair of the DoG 5k & Children’s Run.:

Whether you are participating or volunteering this New Year's Day race has a little something for everyone with a competitive 5K race, 5K walking category, fun and festive formal wear race division (pajamas allowed), weight challenge division and Kids' Fun Run. Come on out and celebrate your New Year with us! A portion of the net proceeds raised from this event will go the designated charity partner. All 5K runners receive a race T-shirt, custom finisher medal, post-race refreshments, and festive post-race awards ceremony. Kids' Fun Run participants receive a finisher medal and post-race refreshments. 

The 12th Annual Hair of the DoG 5k was a great success in 2018 in Williamsburg and we are looking forward to doing it again in 2019 bigger and better, to provide New Year’s revelers with a healthy resolution run to round out their New Year’s celebration in Williamsburg.
