HAPPY TRAILS | About Us
John, Founder/Runner
As a lifelong animal lover and athlete, dog running has been the perfect way to combine two of my passions, while benefiting pets and owners at the same time. I raced for The Evergreen State College's XC Team and currently run 100 miles/week.
My main interests include reading non-fiction, playing music (piano and violin), science, philosophy, film, graphic novels, listening to music, biking, soccer, and nutrition.
Mishe, Runner
The quintessential dog runner, Mishe is an outstanding, caring person and an athlete of the highest order.
Having raced for several college running teams, she made All American in the NAIA National Track Championships for the marathon (where she placed 6th in the nation) and she currently holds the 1/2 marathon record at Eastern Oregon University.
Mishe is a great friend to animals. She's a vegan, dog owner (Chewy!), and is an activist for animal rights.
Abby, Founding Member
Arguably the true originator of Happy Trails Dog Running, Abby's passion for (and insistence on) being run is what led to its inception.
When not out running, Abby's favorite activities include camping, sticking her head out of cars, and guarding the backyard from pesky squirrels.
