10K Dog-Friendly Trail Run — Long Course
The 10K is the longer of our two courses, with both races sharing the same start and finish area. The course is approximately 5–6 miles and features a mix of grassy ski trails, single-track trails and dirt/gravel utility roads, with a moderate elevation profile and possible light obstacles. A water and aid station will be positioned approximately halfway through the course for runners and their dogs. Human and canine medical staff will be on course for safety.
Register5K Dog-Friendly Trail Run — Short Course
The 5K is the shorter of our two courses, covering approximately 2–3 miles over moderate terrain. It is designed to be approachable for runners, hikers and walkers of a range of ages and abilities—dogs and humans alike. The course includes grassy ski trails, single-track trails, dirt/gravel utility roads and mild obstacles. Human and canine medical staff will be on course for safety.
