📏 Race Details

🏆 Event Highlights

10k Structure: The 10k RACE IS 2 LAPS.
New SPRINT Distance: Introducing a new Sprint Distance (1.25 miles).
TRI-HOUND CROWN: Complete all three distances to earn the prestigious Tri-Hound title.
Two-Dog Requirement: Competitors in the 2-Dog Tri-Hound Crown must race with two dogs in all events.

📅 Important Registration Notes

Important: If you register in the 2-dog class but decide to drop a dog during the event at any distance, you will still be classified as a 2-dog competitor based on your original registration.

🔄 Race Sequence for TRI-HOUND Crown

You will start with the 10K event. Upon completing the 10K, you must switch to the corresponding bib for the 5K. After finishing the 5K, you may start the Sprint when ready. The required sequence is: 10K → 5K → Sprint. A new bib must be worn for each distance.

🏅 Final Results

The final time for the Tri-Hound Crown will be the combined total of all individual event finish times.

If you do not wish to run all three distances, you may register for one or two individual events. However, this will not qualify you for the Tri-Hound Crown. Additionally, if you are interested in running with different dogs, we encourage you to register for each race individually.
