course. Disposable bags will be readily available.

Why does it cost so much?
Running a race with dogs and people adds another safety element that requires the services of veterinarians and veterinary assistants in addition to human medical safety precautions. We want you to have fun and we don't want anyone to get hurt while they're having fun.
And...we think you'll agree that the All Star Dog Run medals, prizes, T-shirts, and doggie bags put the WAG in schWAG!
Can I bring more than one dog? Yes. But each dog needs its own race number and you must be able to keep them under your control, on leash, while running.
Why can't I run with my puppy? Most veterinary orthopedic specialists agree that a dog's bones haven't finished growing until they are at least a year of age (large & giant breed dogs may not mature until many months after that) and the concussive force of running repeatedly on hard surfaces is detrimental to their long term health. If you wait until your dog's growth plates are closed, you can maximize the time your dog will be able to run with you for the rest of his life.
Can I put my dog in a stroller? Unfortunately, the terrain on the race course isn't a great place for a pet stroller.
What if I can't run on race day? You are welcome to walk the 5K. See the race rules above for our cancellation policy.
