The Bark Walk honors the memory of Cowboy Bob Glaze, an Indianapolis area TV personality, who was a dog lover. His wife, Wrangler Gail, will be at the event. Proceeds will be used to support pet-friendly materials and activities at Fort Harrison State Park and the Fort Harrison State Park Dog Park.

The non-competitive walk will take place on the paved Harrison Trace path. Participants will be able to choose either a 1-mile or 5K walk.

Registration includes park admission for the afternoon, a T-shirt, (additional T-shirts cost $10 each) and an Indiana State Parks collapsible water bowl, as well as access to programs, booths and activities before and after the walk.

There will also be a prize drawing before the walk — entrants must be present to win. Grand prizes include a Fort Harrison State Park Dog Park Pass and a 2020 State Parks Annual Entrance Pass.

Register online at innsgifts.com by Sept. 26, by clicking on “Park Specific” and “Fort Harrison State Park” to find the registration link. On-site registration will be available on the day of the event. T-shirts and water bowls will be handed out while supplies last.
