Competitive-Recreational Event "Running with a Dog"

Dog lovers, as soon as the weather permits, spend their free time in nature with their pets. City parks are an ideal opportunity for recreation and socializing with other people of similar interests because they exchange experiences and advice. The desire to go a step further contributed to the organization of the first dog race in Belgrade. For this occasion, more than 200 dogs and their owners from our country and abroad gathered in Košutnjak last weekend. They ran the "Trail Tailored for Dogs," combining sports, responsible ownership, and care for nature. It was confirmed that physical activity is important for dogs and their owners.
