Exceptions may be considered on an individual basis.
* Dogs must be on leashes at all times (no longer than 6'). No flexi leashes
please.

dogs must be
current on standard vaccinations and be licensed. You must be able to
produce proof of these on race day upon request.

your dog if he decides to go in the staging area, on the park trails or in the
residential section of the course. Garbage receptacles will be placed at least
every 1/2 mile (every 2/10 for the first mile) for you to deposit your used bag.
We recommend you exercise your dog before the run to avoid dealing with this
during the race.

dogs in any stage of heat to attend.
* The race director and race veterinarian reserve the right to refuse entry or
remove a dog from the course if it might prove hazardous to others or whose
physical condition appears to be in jeopardy before or during the event.
* The race director reserves the right to change the race to a fun run if the
temperature is excessively warm.
* No Baby Joggers.
* To enter the Paws from the Past, the dog has to have participated in a previous
Hounds and Harriers Run and can no longer complete 3 miles.
Entry
