The “Train Leaves No Trace” half marathon in Elkmont, Alabama (USA) had an unexpected surprise when a surprise guest joined the race. Thus, Ludivine, a charming two and a half year old dog, entered the competition after a brief absence to go do her business.
After a moment’s pause, the dog Ludivine was attracted by the dynamism of the few hundred participants and thought it was an interesting game. Without hesitation, he entered the competition and enthusiastically accompanied the competitors in their race.
Ludivine ran the entire 21 kilometer course. Half-marathon competitors testified that he would sometimes deviate from his route to explore enticing scents.
However, he surprised everyone by finishing in 7th place in just over an hour and a half. As a reward for her excellent run, Ludivine even received an award, which completely stunned her master, April Hamlin.
