Course and race details

The course runs on hiking trails in Forest Park rather than on bridle paths or gravel roads. The route will be marked at regular intervals. Dogs with respectful and responsible owners may participate. All finishers receive medals, and there are prizes for the top three male and top three female finishers. Proceeds from the event are donated to Puppy Kitty NYCity.

The event notes that the park’s terrain was shaped by the Wisconsinian glaciation and includes naturally carved trails, a century-old pine grove, and the longest continuous oak forest in Queens. The race is dedicated to Pinky the Pacer, a small white and brown dog known for running in Forest Park. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
