A DOG FRIENDLY TRAIL RACE

May 11th, 2024

“Dogs never bite me. Just humans.”  – Marilyn Monroe

As avid lovers of all things outdoors we understand how special it is to share that solace with our furbabies. Which is why we thought it would be pretty darn cool to run a race with them. Introducing the Tiangou Trot: our 4-mile, dog friendly trail race!

And as much as we can relate to Marilyn’s sentiment above, we do want to stress that any dogs participating in this event should be friendly and comfortable with people, children, other dogs, mountain bikers, horses, and under your control at all times. This race is being held on trails within Swasey Recreation Area that are multi-use and participants will likely come across other trail users during the event. All canine participants are required to be on a static, non-retractible leash and provide proof of a current rabies vaccine.

We appreciate your cooperation with above as it helps us help you to have an awesome race to participate in with your BFF year after year.

Costumes encouraged and there will be prizes!

Course & Schedule

The planned race course is a semi-challenging 4 mile run that involves elevation gain and navigating rocky terrain. Should the temperature on race day call for 85 degrees we will pivot to course route #2 that has less sun exposure and is much easier to navigate. Map/route links will be up shortly.

Packet Pickup - 7:30am

Mandatory Racer’s Meeting - 8:15am

Race Starts - 8:30am

Watch for your racer’s email the week of the race. This will cover general reminders as well as any updates and changes to the event.
