***New Location and New Date***
Join us on January 21st for a 5k, 10k, 25k or 5k Doggo Run winter trail run race through the beautiful single and double track trails of Long Point Eco Adventures and St. Williams on the shores of Lake Erie, near Turkey Point. With fun and flowing trails through a snow covered (possibly icy, might be chilly) environment, you are sure to enjoy being outdoors with friends.
****This is a dog-friendly event. If you would like to race with your favourite four-legged furry friend, we will have a separate wave. Your four-legger, will also get their own swag!
General notes regarding racing with your dog:
- ONLY the 5k will have a dog category - no dogs allowed in the 10k and 25k.
- Your dog MUST be kept on a leash no more than 6 feet (preferably shorter). Absolutely, NO retractable leashes allowed.
- You must pick up after your dog - no exceptions, so bring your poop-bags!
- NO aggressive dogs allowed. If your dog is dog-reactive, please leave them at home. This is not the time or place to see if your dog likes other dogs.
- Dogs must be kept on a leash at all times pre, post and during the race.
- Be aware of other runners around you and keep your dog close to you, so as to not trip up other runners or dogs.
- Please ensure your dog is properly dressed for the weather - jacket, boots or what your dog will require to keep it safe.
- It is not recommended to have your dog out for extended periods of time in -10C or below.
- The race director does have final say as to the whether dogs will be able to participate, should the weather not be conducive to their safety and wellness.
SAFETY NOTES FOR THE HUMANS:
- Traction on your shoes will be mandatory should the trails be icy, so come prepared.
- Snowshoes are not allowed in the race. This is a running race.
- Bring dry warm clothes with you to change into post race. We will have pop-up change tents available for people to change.
- NO headphones or strollers/sleds allowed on course.
