| May 4th, 2008 -- Thanks Everyone!(And it WAS a record. More runners & more dogs than ever before!) We had 161 registered runners and over 80 dogs. The weather held off, despite dire warnings of thundershowers from various weather bureaus. PLEASE check out the FANTASTIC photos by our photographers.
We'll have a tally of the money raised for the Berkshire Humane Society soon. Thanks to all our Sponsors, our wonderful volunteers, and to all the dogs, kids, and adults who participated! 
The Humane Race is a fun 5K cross-country race and "Dog Jog" (you are welcome to run with or without a dog) to benefit The Berkshire Humane Society. The race takes place in Williamstown, MA, in the northwest corner of The Berkshires. We all know that people in the Berkshires and its environs love to help others, but now even our dogs have a chance to give back while having tons of fun by participating in the 6th Annual Humane Race and Dog Jog 5K! Whether racing or just walking, dogs and their folk (or just folks who love dogs) can enjoy a glorious romp on Mt. Greylock Regional High School's beautiful cross-country trails. Doors open at 8:00 A.M. for check-in and race day registration. There is a Fun Run for kids 12 and under beginning at 9:30 A.M., with The Humane Race 5K and Dog Jog beginning promptly at 10:00 A.M. And as much as dogs really dig raising money for the Humane Race, kids love it too! The Humane Race is a real family affair, with students of all ages getting involved by baking and selling dog biscuits, designing the T-shirts, finding sponsors, getting pledges, setting up the race course, and of course, volunteering by the dozens on race day! Helping animals is a natural for kids, and the homeless animals of Berkshire County certainly shout out their thanks with big, wet kisses and lots of exuberant tail wagging! The Berkshire Humane Society has earned Four Stars for four years running from Charity Navigator (the leading on-line charity evaluator). Only 4% of all the charities reviewed by Charity Navigator have managed this feat.
