The New Face of the Subzero Race Series

There’s a new runner in town, and he’s taking Madison by storm. He’s managed to bandit the first two races in the Subzero Race Series, yet he’s charmed every runner and race volunteer without saying a word. He’s not hard to spot. Women flock to him – smiling, giggling, and cooing with delight. He’s got a certain strut that men admire. They want to be him. And then there’s that beautiful stride and a totally unfair advantage: 4 legs instead of 2. Meet George.

“Everyone thinks he’s a girl!” George’s human explained, laughing. “Because he’s a poodle. They always say how pretty and well-behaved she is, and I always say, ‘Yes, he’s a good boy!’” George refused to comment on his gender-bending abilities, but did seem rather proud of his stately mustache.  Though not female, George did mention some women to “watch out for,” due to their spectacular performance in the series:
