About:
An Agility Fun Run event is intended for fun and to experience a trial-like atmosphere. Instructors will be available to act as a judge, but no scoring or prizes will be offered. This event is open to all dogs more than one year of age. Dogs must be able to do all equipment safely and be off-leash within the fenced ring area. Toys, hand-delivered treats and lavish praise are encouraged in the ring. Ring size is approximately 100' x 120' outdoors on grass and fully fenced. All equipment meets AKC regulations, tire is breakaway, long jump is made of foam, and contacts are rubberized for safety. There will be a kiddy pool for dogs to cool off on hot days. There is one bathroom on site in the grooming shop. Please be respectful of the owners property at all times. Property is under surveillance.
How to enter: Full details on pre-entry TBD. Pre-registration is not required but highly recommended. Day of entries will be accepted on a first come first serve basis until event limit of 28 dogs is reached. Day of registration is between 8:00 - 9:00 am. Please be registered and checked in before runs begin at 9:00 am. The event will run until finished. During registration make sure to provide your dogs call name, breed, DOB, jump height and level (Novice, Open, Excellent or Master).
Additional dogs: Handlers are allowed multiple dogs but each must have it's own separate entry and fee. There are no discounts for additional dogs.
Volunteering: Agility Fun Run participants are encouraged to volunteer for various agility trial jobs (i.e. gate stewards, pole setters, leash runners, course building, timing, etc.). We will mentor you in how to perform these jobs if you are new to the sport. Now is a great time to learn, since agility trials can only be run with volunteer help and it is expected that you volunteer for some portion of any trials you attend. Our goal is to help you learn in a stress-free environment, so you can help out with confidence at a real agility trial one day.
Volunteers will be provided a raffle ticket for a chance to win a prize at the end of the day. Must be present to win.
Breaktime: There will be a 30 to 40-minute break for lunch between course builds.
Jump Height and Run Order: We will post on site either a QR code for a digital copy of the course maps or a printed copy of the map which you can take a photo of. Running order will be done by jump height. All courses are run Small to tall. Running order will be written on a white board by ringside. Please make sure to check in with the volunteer ring steward before 9:00am!
