The Omaha Corgi Crew hosted the Corgi Racing at Rivers Edge Park in Council Bluffs, Iowa, on Saturday.
The event helps to raise money for small, locally-run shelters. Corgis from all across the area competed in a series of races to make it to the finals. The winner of this year's race was August.
Organizers said you never know what the dogs will do once the race starts.
"You never know what's going to happen with the Corgis," Melissa Feekin, social media coordinator for Omaha Corgi Crew, said. "They are easily distracted, are very goal-oriented. We have ones that go straight for that finish line and we have some that won't. They won't even leave the starter box, or there's even a couple that do extra laps, or they just get distracted and play."
This was the fifth year for the race, and organizers said it's grown every year.
