Star Wars Puppy 5K

Star Wars Puppy 5K (Ramstein FSS)

Stars and Stripes Europe LOVES dogs. Which is why we simply had to check out the Star Wars Puppy 5K hosted by Ramstein FSS. The Force was at work parting the clouds for a rare sunny day this past weekend in Germany, beckoning all Jedi Masters and their Padawan pups to compete in this fun run. Gift cards were awarded to 1st, 2nd and 3rd place humans and doggy baskets were awarded to 1st, 2nd and 3rd place dogs.

Ramstein FSS even set up a treat bar for all the good dogs to enjoy after their hard work. Stars and Stripes Europe donated a prize basket that was awarded to the “Best Dressed” pet, Which was very tough to choose. For the pups who left their Yoda ears and Princess Leia buns at home, we handed out Stars and Stripes bandanas for them to sport. We can’t wait to come out to the next one!
