Running order & check-in
Blocks open at the top of the hour, so early arrival is suggested — dogs not checked in by the quarter hour may lose priority and be moved to the next block or handled as late entries. If you have multiple dogs, or dogs that need rest between runs, enter them in different time blocks. A lunch break may be taken between 12:00 and 1:00 PM on Friday and Saturday; there is no lunch break on Sunday, and all first runs must be checked in by 1:00 PM on Sunday.
