*CANICROSS This is a running with dogs race you must run with a dog, no non dog runners accepted
DOGS must be a year old on the day of the race, bitches in season, pregnatnt or lactating bitches are not permitted to race. Bitches in season should be kept well away from the start / finish area and not taken on or near the course if brought to the event.
Dogs must be kept on the lead at all times during the race and should not be run in a slip lead, pinch collar, check/choke chain, head collar, flexie lead or any collar that restricts breathing, if a muzzle is required it should be of the wire greyhound racing style. For your dogs comfort we suggest they run in a suitable harness, some equipment may be available for hire on the day (book in advance and pick up before briefing).
Dogs should not be brought to the event if they are coughing or have recently been in contact with infectious disease. It is the owners responsibility to ensure their dog is fit and healthy before racing. If in doubt consult your vet.
AGE GROUPS Are for runners age on day of race. Minimum age 7 for one dog class, 18 for 2 dog class.
SEEDED STARTS Race starts are staggered and seeded for safety and to minimise overtaking. Please put your current 5k personal best time on the entry form (if you dont know please estimate). The organisers may alter your start position based on historic results if they feel your position in the start list would meant multiple overtakes are likley. Please give an accurate PB as manual manipulations add to the time it takes to process the race.
BORROWED DOGS It is presumed that you are running with your own dog. If you must borrow a dog to race with you may only enter a single dog category, you should be familiar with each other, have trained together prior to the race and the handler should be aware of the dogs behavior in a race environment and be responsible for its care throughout the event. You will not be permitted to race with a borrowed dog that you have only just met.
CHILDRENS RACE/FUN RUN A shorter, approx 1 mile, race will be included if enough entries are recieved. This will set off aprox 11am with the briefing immediatly before once all long course runnres are back. Note the start for this race is a mile (walk jog or up the course or a short drive) and consists of the last mile for the course all downhill.
CHILDREN runners age 7 - 10, on the day of the race, must be accompanied by an adult who is also attached to the dog, on foot (no bikes). 11 - 15 year olds can run alone but may have an adult with them if desired. A 15 year old may opt to run the long course if desired but may not also run the short course. The adult is there for safety only the child must handle the dog themselves. The child and dog should cross the finish line first, before the acompaning adult. It is presumed that children will be running a family dog, if they must borrow a dog to race with it should be of an appropriate size and strength that the child could handle the dog alone. All children attending the event to run or spectate must be supervised by an adult at all times and instructed not to approach dogs they do not know.
