The 5K-9
Don't leave your furry friend at home! The 5K-9 (1.0 mile distance too) is part of the Littleton PRCE Turkey Trot!
There are lots of people, noises and excitement so for the safety of your dog and others around you:
-Please only bring dogs that are well-behaved and used to being around other dogs and people.
-Dogs should be kept on leash that is shorter than six feet — no retractable leashes, which may be hazardous in a crowd
-Please clean up after your dog — bags are available but you can bring your own. You will be disqualified for leaving presents on the race course!
-Limit one (1) dog per person.
-Dogs should be at least six-months-old and up to date on vaccinations.
