North American Canicross presents RACE AROUND RED TOP! Come join us March 2nd for our third in-person canicross 5k race! New to canicross or have a pup in training? There will also be a 5k Dog Friendly Trail race following the competitive canicross run.
Each runner will receive a logo race T-shirt and finisher challenge coin! *Note: T-Shirt/Size is not guaranteed if you register after February 15th. Race Logo swag will be available for additional purchase.
All dogs running in canicross are required to wear designated canicross gear. Harnesses that have “Y” chest bands and do not restrict the dogs movement, bungee lead 4' - 6’ ft attached to a hands free waist belt must be worn for those running in the canicross class. Only one dog can be run at a time, unless in the 2-Dog Canicross Class or Dog Friendly 5k Class.
2- Dog Canicross Class Gear Requirements: IFSS rules for 2-dog class require single split bungee line with neck line. Though we are not sanctioned by IFSS we will be following the international standard for a 2 dog class.
Dog Friendly 5k requirements will be less restrictive however face leads, flexi leashes and no-pull harnesses will not be allowed. Limit 2 Dogs at time.
Registered children under 15 will need to run with a registered adult.
No transfers, refunds or deferments allowed.
Although this is a dog event, we have a “NO GREET” POLICY. Dogs must be kept on a leash and under owner/handler’s control at all times both in the parking lot and event area. Dogs should NOT interact with other dogs or humans while attending our event. Reactive dogs will be directed to a special parking area to minimize their stress and contact with others. MUZZLES are allowed and can be worn on course as long as the dog has ample room for panting. Please email support@nacanicross.com if you have a reactive dog and are planning to attend so we can best prepare for you and your dog.
