Course, rules and logistics

The 5K course is one counterclockwise loop around Papago Park and is marked at critical junctions. Dogs must be vaccinated, leashed at all times, and participants are asked to pick up after their pets; doggie poop bags will be provided at the start. An aid station at the start will offer cold water, hydration mix, snacks and bananas; no other aid stations are on course, so participants are advised to carry additional hydration. Free parking is available across the street at 625 N Galvin Pkwy, a short walk to the start. Porta potties will be available at the start. The event takes place rain or shine and the organizer states there are no refunds for cancellations. Race entrants receive a sticker, a doggie bandana and a commemorative t-shirt.
