Participant Guidelines

As a canicross event, specific rules apply to animal participation. Dogs must remain on a leash no longer than 6 feet at all times. Off-leash running is strictly prohibited. The event serves as a fundraiser, with entry fees supporting the Friends of Caledon State Park in their efforts to improve natural resources and educational programming.

The race follows a sustainable, disposable cup-free model. Each runner receives a reusable speedCup for hydration, though participants may also bring their own hydration containers. While event swag is provided, specific items for runners and their dogs are determined closer to the race date, and availability is not guaranteed for those registering late. The 10K distance is open to participants aged 13 and older. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
