Wiener Dog Race Registration Form & Rules

REGISTRATION NOW FULL

PLANNING TO RACE? PLEASE READ BELOW.

You may enter more than one race but you CANNOT enter BOTH races on Saturday. (So,
you may race Friday AND ONE of the Saturday races if you wish).

  • The races are for purebred dachshunds only.
  • No registration fee is required for the race and you get ONE FREE admission to the event with your dachshund. Additional adults must purchase a separate event ticket.
  • By registering or attending with your dog you agree that your dog is current on all required vaccinations.
  • There will be a parade following the 2PM Saturday race. You may join the parade even if not racing. (To be clear, you get ONE free admission to the event if you bring a purebred dachshund. Even if you are not taking part in the race.)
  • Entries will be accepted until races are full. No entries will be accepted after October 3 at 11:59 PM.
  • Click on the above link to complete and submit the entry form.
  • Owners must keep their dogs on a leash at all times (when not racing) and pick up after their dogs for proper disposal.
  • The dogs start from a gate on a straight-line course about 100’ long. We prefer that one owner be with the dog at the start and another waiting at the finish line. (If you don’t have two people we have plenty of volunteers to help) It is common for the dogs to “lose focus” during the race and this is all part of the fun.
  • This is a charity event and all workers are volunteers.  We’re doing this for fun and we encourage everyone to keep a light-hearted attitude.
  • Questions about the event may be directed to Steve at: [email protected].
