The Doggie Dash follows the children’s races and begins at approximately 11:15 a.m. During the Doggie Dash, each leashed, vaccinated dog (age 6 months +) and their handler (age 12 and over) have to option to compete in two courses. Their “Doggie Bag” features a dog’s race bib and bandana. When the dash is done, competitors earn a finisher dog tag. We ask that all dogs be socialized and comfortable with being around crowds and other dogs-big or small. This event is for fun and participants should distance themselves accordingly for safety during the dash.
