Tobacco Prohibition
The Town of Waynesville has an ordinance prohibiting the use of tobacco and e-cigarettes in business districts, which includes the venue where this event will take place.

Following the race, participants may enjoy food, music, and raffle drawings for the gift baskets and watch the awards ceremony.  

Individual awards will be given to the top three overall male and female, the top masters male and female and the top 3 male/female in the following age groups: 14&Under, 15-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69 and 70&Over.

There are also awards for the Most Creative Participants and Fastest Dog.  Team awards go to the department from Haywood Regional Medical Center with the most participants and a community organization with the most participants.

The race will utilize chip timing. Chips are located on your race bib which must be worn on the front of your race clothes.

Well behaved dogs who have current vaccinations and tags are welcome.  If you plan to run/walk with them, please make sure you register them during the online process. The first dog to finish (with their human), will receive special recognition and a prize during the awards ceremony.
