    PLEASE READ REGISTRATION DETAILS

    • Thank you for your interest in Pup Running, Inc. We look forward to a cooperative effort in order to hold after-school practices as well as three (3) track meets.

    • Pup Running is offered to ALL CCS 4th and 5th graders.

    -- Registration cost for after-school practices and the 3-meet series is $19 plus processing fees. Team t-shirts are offered for purchase for $10. While shirts are OPTIONAL it should be noted that approximately 90% of participants order shirts. Shirts are custom; therefore no refunds, no late orders can be accepted.

    -- The 3 meets are: Wednesday, April 29th; Tuesday, May 5th; and Thursday, May 14th @ the Carmel HS Track beginning at 6:30 pm. Practice schedule for your specific school club will be posted on our website as soon as it is determined by your school.

    -- The school you select will determine your team t-shirt design and color as well as delivery!

    -- The email you provide will receive important updates throughout the season as well as send a confirmation email of registration.

    -- There are NO LATE REGISTRATION & NO REFUNDS. Registration will close April 1st. FINAL rosters are sent to the schools April 2, 2026. In the interest of safety, we do NOT make changes to the rosters as it adds confusion during the very hectic school dismissal time. The Pup Running season is very short; therefore, once registration closes, bibs, t-shirts and ribbons are ordered in preparation for our fast-approaching first meet. Please help us spread the word about registration and the FIRM deadline!

    NOTE: Select "I am completing this form for "SOMEONE ELSE" and enter your runner's information as it should appear on their race bib.
