This will be a single dog, timed race for your mini-musher. This is open to kids 4-8 and 9-12 years old using their very own furry friend to pull them down a 75 foot straight chute. Dogs must be of reasonable size and healthy. An adult must accompany each child to help handle your dog. Sleds and harnesses for the dogs will be provided. A pool of dogs may be available to borrow by any child that wants to participate but doesn’t have their own dog. However, we encourage participants to bring their own dog as our pool of dogs is limited and we may not be able to accommodate everyone.
1.) No aggressive dogs may be entered. You are expected to have your pet under control at all times. Dogs must be current on vaccinations and proof will be required.

2.) A limited number of entries will be accepted. Entry fee is $10 per person and are non-refundable (which is being paid by our sponsors Miller’s Recreation and Butler’s Pro Shop! This makes registration and participation freely available! Thank you!). Same day registrations will only be allowed if: A.) Slots are available, and B.) You provide your own dog or our pool of dogs to borrow is sufficient enough to accommodate additional entries.

3.) A pool of dogs may be available to borrow for those children that don’t have a dog of their own but still want to participate. We strongly encourage participants to bring their
own dog as our pool of dogs is limited and we may not be able to accommodate everyone.

4.) Certain areas may be off limits to dogs and all dogs must be kept on a leash at all times. Owners must clean up after their pets and no retractable leashes are allowed.

5.) Participants must be present at least 30 minutes before the event.

6.) Entrants will be organized based on the child’s age: 4-8 and 9-12 years old. Winners are
determined by the time to complete the 75 foot course. Mini-mushers have 2 minutes to
finish the course. Fastest time wins. Participant awards will be given to the top three
places in each class.
