Humans are welcome to participate without a dog, but all dogs must have a human companion. Walking participants are also welcome.

Prizes will be awarded to the first three finishers who have pre-guessed their run time most accurately (must be a person/dog combo to qualify for a prize). Don’t forget to name your guess on your registration form. Other random prizes may also be awarded. An awards ceremony and celebration will be held at 11 a.m. in McCreery Park in the center of town. Please join the community and SCLT members (with your dogs) for the post-run festivities.
