Ogden Newspapers Wellness Weekend Pet Walk

Wag those tails & stretch those paws at the Inaugural Ogden Newspapers Wellness Weekend Pet Walk. Rovers on the River, presented by Play N Stay Pet Camp, will take place at Heritage Port (approximately 1.5 miles) on Saturday, May 24th at Noon. The walk along the waterfront on the Heritage Trail will take you behind WesBanco Arena and across the walking bridge over Wheeling Creek. The field behind Main Street Bank will contain fun obstacles for the pets, and then it’s back over the walking bridge, finishing on Nailers Way between the WesBanco Arena and the parking garage. Rovers on the River, presented by Play N Stay Pet Camp, will celebrate that special bond between humans and their four-legged friends. This is a pet friendly, non-competitive walk created to enjoy the outdoors, and be a part of the Ogden Newspapers Wellness Weekend.
