  • A Pawsome Effort
Cher Armstrong participated in the Pawfest for the Dogs race at the rare 1 km distance in Endicott, NY. She pawed her way to 2nd overall and 1st woman in a time of 4:04. The best thing about odd distance races, is the ability to set new PRs and team records, both which she accomplished.
