Important Information and FAQ's
Race kit pick up is from 9am-10am
All Canicross Racers will require an equipment check prior to BIB pick up. If gear is deemed unsuitable for racing, you will be relegated to the FUN RUN.
If you have a reactive dog or want some extra space for your dog, simply get some yellow ribbon or ask for a pinny at race kit pick up. Tie the ribbon to your leash or harness - this will signal others to keep a comfortable distance away.
Nothing is worse than having to stop for a poop while you're running your hearts out to gain ground on the teams in front of you. Do your best to let your dog do their business prior to race start to avoid any slow downs. It is expected that you will pick up after your dog, trash bins will be provided at the staging area as well as at the aid station.
How will the race begin?
Race wave will begin at 10:15AM with up to 6 teams per wave. Waves will be departing every two minutes until the entire field is on the course. 10k teams will be departing first. Official wave times will be sent out to registered teams about a week away from the race.
Parking
Parking is free for participants, volunteers, and spectators - you'll be directed by volunteers.
How will the Race be timed?
The race will be manually timed so race bib must be on the front of your chest clearly visible for the timers.
Where do I pick up my race kit?
Your race kit will be ready for pick up at Monora Park on race day by the gazebo.
Can I run with more than one dog?
Participants in the fun run and the virtual runs can run with more than one dog.
NEW 2 dog categories have been added to the MUDDY PAW Canicross Race!
What gear is required for the race events?
For the 5 and 10k race events dogs are required to be in a harness that allows for non restricted motion and allows for pulling
(such as an x-back harness, typically these harnesses have a Y shape that rests on the dogs chest.) Remember that equipment will be checked prior to registration.
A line that has elastic properties is ideal rather than a line with no elastic recoil.
The runner should have a Canicross harness or belt that allows them to run hands free.
Do I need Canicross gear for the fun run/walk?
The only gear required for the fun run/walk is a leash and collar at minimum.
Awards and Timing
All finishers will receive a medal and special awards for top 3 finishers of the race categories.
Timing is manual - it is important to clearly display your bib on your front chest so that our timers can see your number and record your time accurately.
