This race is 100% dog friendly for all well socialized pups on a leash. We do ask that any owners running with dogs be prepared with a pick up bag to attend to any unscheduled potty breaks on the course. Dogs are not allowed off leash at any time.
You can run with a dog or without. Limit one dog per handler. 1 runner + 1 dog = $45. Minimum age for a runner with a dog is 12 years old. Kids 10 and under run free, but must be accompanied by an adult and do not receive race swag and are not officially timed.
