About the event

This 4th annual dog-friendly trail running event, hosted by Brundage Mountain Resort, and benefiting MCPAWS Regional Animal Shelter will be held on Saturday, October 6th at 9am, followed by Oktoberfest at Alpine Village. This year the race will be a single 5K fun run. Enjoy Brundage Mountain with your whole family, even your dog! Run the race, and then head over to Alpine Village for some cold brews and delicious grub! Your Oktoberfest registration is included in your race registration! Both events benefit the cats and dogs at MCPAWS! This is a dog-friendly running event – run with or without a dog. Well-socialized and well-conditioned dogs are welcome. Runners without dogs must be aware of and courteous to the dogs who are participating; this is, after all, a benefit for MCPAWS. Dogs may run off leash during the race, but please be aware there is wildlife in the forest you will be running through, so if your dog does not have excellent recall, you should use a leash. There will be water bowls for the dogs at the aid stations.
