Course and format
Races use a mix of forest roads and trails. Starts are individual so each athlete has space at the start. Runners may compete with or without dogs. Because most trails are wide, two dogs per runner are allowed on much of the course. Some sections are narrower and the final descent is relatively steep, so runners are asked to go at their own pace. Dogs must run on a suitable harness; harnesses are available to borrow from Non Stop Dog Wear.
