Course and format

The courses use a mix of forest roads and trails, with many wide sections. Two dogs per runner are allowed on the wider parts, but some sections narrow and the final descent is relatively steep. Dogs must be run on a suitable harness; harnesses are available to borrow from Non Stop Dog Wear. Runners may also compete without dogs. Individual starts are used so dogs have space at the start. The event is chip timed and the course will be marked. GPX files are available for download. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
