Can your dog run THIS fast? 🐶🐾
record, since it was a time trial on his own, and not at the actual race.
The State Street Dog Mile began in 1995, and has continued each year except for a brief hiatus from 1998-1999. Officials cap the race at 70 participants. While most lace up for fun, there are always those that are there to win.Odessa is one of those winners. As a German Shorthaired Pointer—a type of dog bred for bird hunting, which requires energy, endurance, and a strong prey drive—Odessa is ideally suited for the mile..
Wehunt, a former DI runner for the University of Florida, logs about 40 miles a week, almost all of which include Odessa right by his side. Running with his pup, he believes, helps him find joy in training, which, at times, could become monotonous.“Odessa has tagged along on a few tempo long runs where we average around 5:30-mile pace for about 90 minutes,” said Wehunt.“I’d probably limit Odessa’s road racing to nothing more than a 10k, so the asphalt doesn’t hurt her paws,” he said.
But Wehunt and Odessa aren’t done with the State Street Dog Mile yet—they plan to return next year and improve their time. “I’d love to go sub-4:00,” said Wehunt. “During the race, I was surprised to hear someone call out our 1200-meter split was 3:00, so we were on pace. But it was me who held Odessa up the final 400 meters. She had no problems with the pace.”
