How to Participate

Have fun with your dog!
All registrants will have a full access pass to all the games and activities that are happening during the day! There will be many activities and of course...The Walk. Choose from these two walks:

The Husky Hike is about a 40 minute trek through the woods with some inclines. Great for active dogs and their people with just the right amount of challenge and some great scenery.
   
The Poodle Promenade is about a 25 minute stroll around the soccer fields on a fairly level track. Great for older or less active dogs.
   
  There will be rest and refreshment stops at several places along both walks.
