- What if I register and cannot make it on race day, do I get a refund?
Sorry, but we will be unable to give refunds. Remember all the money raised will be going to three great causes. Even if you cannot make it on race day, you are still “lending a paw.”

- Are all dogs allowed?
The limit on pet participants is 3 small dogs or 2 large dogs per person. All breeds are allowed except Pitbulls, as they are currently deemed illegal in the city of Denver. Any sick or aggressive dogs will be asked to leave or be unable to participate. Rabies shots are required and tags will be checked at registration. We ask that you please use your best judgment regarding your dogs; you know your pet the best so please make every effort to help us ensure that we have a safe, fun event for all. All dogs must be leashed at all times.

- Can I register on race day?
We strongly recommend that you register prior to the day of the race to secure your spot. We will have a registration booth on race day, but it will be first come first serve and we cannot guarantee participation due to park restrictions. Cash or checks appreciated when paying day of race.
