For the past two years, Max Manganiello and Eric Reitinger have been at the front of the pack during the annual Dog Day Race in Harvey Cedars. Maybe this summer it’s somebody else’s turn to break the tape first.

Slated for Sunday, Aug. 18, the tradition barks on with the 45th edition of the High Point Volunteer Fire Co.’s annual 5-mile race through the borough, won by Reitinger in just over 26 minutes last summer. The fire horn to start it again will blare at 9:30 a.m.
