Event Day

The Doggie Duathlon begins promptly at 8 a.m. so be sure to arrive at least 15 minutes ahead of time at the main entrance to the park (yellow gate). Please park in the last parking lot where the event will start from.

Ensure that:

your dog is leashed for the entirety of the event. No retractable leashes or aversive tools (i.e. prong collar). No greet policy (no dog-to-dog interactions) applies for this event.
your bib (provided at the check-in tent) is in clear view on the front of your shirt
your dog is wearing the Doggie Duathlon bandana (also provided at the check-in tent)
you have appropriate bags to clean up after your pooch.

Runners will be started first for all distances, immediately followed by walkers. It is your responsibility to ensure you have full control of your leashed dog throughout the entirety of the event. We appreciate everyone’s cooperation in following the rules of this event and the Provincial Park laws to ensure that we are able to hold future Doggie Duathlons at this scenic location!
