North American Canicross presents STEEPLECHASE STAMPEDE! Come join us November 8th at the Georgia International Horse Park for our In-Person CANICROSS RACE! Held at the prestigious Georgia International Horse Park, renowned as the site of The 1996 Centennial Olympic Games, this event is not to be missed!
5k and 10k course is classified as a technical trail running race. Participants should be prepared for uneven terrain, elevation changes, and natural features such as roots, rocks, and narrow paths. There will be 1 water / aid station on the course.
Registered children under 15 will need to run with a registered adult.
10k RACE IS 2 LAPS
SPRINT Distance : 1.25 miles
TRI-HOUND CROWN!
Complete all three distances and earn the prestigious Tri-Hound title! The Tri-Hound Crown is designed as a team event between dog(s) and human. The dog you start with must be the same dog you complete the entire challenge with across all distances.
Competitors in the 2-Dog Tri-Hound Crown must race with two dogs in all events.
Competitors in the CaniX Tri-Hound Crown must race with one dog in all events.
Tri-Hound Crown Competitors will start with the 10K events. The required sequence is: 10K → 5K → Sprint
Important: If you register in the 2-dog class but decide to drop a dog during the event at any distance, you will still be classified as a 2-dog competitor based on your original registration.
Final Results:
The final time for the Tri-Hound Crown will be the combined total of all individual event finish times.
If you do not wish to run all three distances, you may register for one or two individual events. However, this will not qualify you for the Tri-Hound Crown. Additionally, If you are interested in running with different dogs, you will need to register for each race individually
Dog-Friendly Trail Race:
