Race and course details
The event distance is 5K. The course is described as flat with an option to run on mostly dirt and grass and some road. Canicross entries are available; canicross can be run with one or two dogs attached to the runner. In canicross the runner uses a waist belt or hip harness, the dog wears a specially designed harness, and the pair are joined by a bungee or elastic line to reduce shock when the dog pulls. Race shirts featuring the event tofurkey are offered this year, with early registrants guaranteed a shirt. Early registration prices listed include adult solo or virtual runners at $25, canicross and virtual teams at $35, kids 12 and under at $15, and kids canicross teams at $25. Driving directions for parking reference the Mallard Picnic Area at Monarch Bay Drive. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
