Rules
A racer is finished when whichever part of your outfit crosses the finish line first.
If it makes sense for you to move over and stop to let someone from behind by, please do so. If they ask for trail, they caught you, and are most likely they are faster than you. Stay back until it is obvious that you are actually faster than them, then politely ask for trail again.
This is meant to be a laid-back, fun event. We ask that all participants are cordial to each other, the dogs, and race volunteers. Failure to do any of these things will result in disqualification at the discretion of the race marshal.
Trail Description
The trail will be explained on race day. Each race will have distinct trail markers to follow and a map will be posted ASAP.
