Last year, a familiar face captured the High Point Volunteer Co.’s annual Dog Day Race title. Despite a drizzly 70 degrees and 15 mph north wind, Harvey Cedars summer resident Jake Shoemaker completed the 5-mile course in 25:15.23, about 45 seconds ahead of Manahawkin’s Jarred Iacovelli.

This year’s race – scheduled for Sunday, Aug. 18 – will be the 41st edition of the Dog Day Road Race, slated for its standard 9:30 a.m.
