Sprint TRIATHLON:
Enter 1 dog scooter, 1 dog bikejoring, & canicross to automatically be entered in our triathlon competition! Times from all three classes will be added together for final placing in the triathlon. Triathlon participants MUST use a minimum of two dogs across the three classes.

RELAY:
Relay teams must consist of 3 humans and 3 distinct dogs. Teams will compete in canicross, 1 dog scooter, 1 dog bikejoring. Teams may have handlers. The relay will be conducted in seeded heats to ensure the trail is not over crowded. Canicross runners will start the event. Once they have competed the route they will give their dog to a handler and run dog-less through the transition zone to tag the shoulder of their scooter team. Once the scooter driver has completed the 2km they will enter the transition zone handing their dog and scooter to a handler and running on foot to tag in their bike team. Times will be recorded when bike teams cross the finish line. Relay teams register ONCE and MUST be registered by their team captain. Relay team bibs will be delivered to the team captain in their registration packages.

Registration:
*In advance only.
*NO RACE DAY REGISTRATION*
**UPDATED: Deadline to register is Wednesday, April 24 at midnight**

Rules:

Because harness dog sports involve more than human athletes, our rules for participants incorporate more than the expected rules to ensure fair competition. These rules also address factors that can impact the health and safety of our canine and human teammates - things like the age of the dog for competition, sport-specific gear requirements for humans and dogs, trail rules (such as passing), and good sportsmanship.

All participants must review and adhere to the following documents prior to race day:

MAHDS Rules for Participants
MAHDS Code of Conduct

Both of these documents can be found on our website HERE.
