Below are the official CopperDog Rules, established to ensure a safe, fair, and enjoyable experience for all participants, volunteers, spectators, and canine athletes. These rules help protect the integrity of the event while prioritizing the health and well-being of both people and dogs.

All mushers, handlers, volunteers, and attendees are expected to review and follow these guidelines. The rules are enforced by CopperDog officials and race staff, and compliance is required for participation in any CopperDog-sanctioned events and activities.

Thank you for helping us uphold the spirit of CopperDog—where community, sportsmanship, and respect for our dogs come first.
