You will find the courses well marked, so it's pretty impossible to get lost.

Dogs are prohibited from being brought to the race.  If you, any family member, or your spectators bring a dog to the race, we will disqualify the athlete.  NO refunds.

         A race is not a place for the family pet.  This is for the safety of our participants, their families, and your dog as well.   If you have never been chased, wildly barked at, or bitten by a dog while cycling or running, then consider yourself one of the lucky ones.  Dogs, bikes, and runners do not mix, and to eliminate any fear or the possibility of accidents, we insist that dogs not be brought to the race site.  Your dog may be very well-behaved, but this is not the place for them.  Thank you for your understanding and for enforcing this with your family and friends.
