IMPORTANT CHANGES:

We plan to eliminate head-on passing for the April 2026 race! The finish line is moving to accommodate for this. 

Also different for spring 2026: the adult canicross class will run the rig trail (not the regular “canicross 5k loop”).

Class order & tentative mileage – order and mileage have been updated as of 3/30/26
