Participant Information
All on-site races are chip-timed and utilize a rolling start. Canicross events involve start lines for two dogs at 10-second intervals to manage course congestion. Participants receive a race t-shirt and a finisher medal. The property offers the Rehab Rover Finisher's Festival, featuring a biergarten, food trucks, music, and a vendor village. Overnight camping and RV spaces are available on the property. A strict "no greet" policy is enforced, requiring all dogs to remain on a leash and under control at all times.
