No Dog Policy for Our 5K Races
We love dogs and understand they are part of the family, but we cannot permit them to participate in our 5K races. This policy is in place because our event insurance does not cover the participation of dogs, and we must prioritize the safety and well-being of all participants.
Key Points of the Policy
-
No dogs allowed on the course: For safety and liability reasons, dogs are not permitted to accompany runners or walkers during the race.
-
Spectator pets: Well-behaved and leashed dogs are welcome to spectate along the sidelines, provided they remain under control and do not enter the race course.
-
Service animals: Registered service animals are an exception to this rule and are allowed under applicable laws and protections.
-
Alternative participation options: If you’re looking for a dog-friendly race experience, reach out to us and we can share recommendations for other events in the area that welcome canine companions.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in helping us maintain a safe and enjoyable race for everyone involved.
