Race Info

The race is a normal 10K & 5K run with a 1-mile Trot with Spot that is primarily for dogs with owners running or walking with them.

You'll have a great time and so will everyone else.

The 10K travels around Evangeline Drive, up Low Country Blvd and through Meadow Park, on up Low Country Blvd, executes a U-turn, and returns to the start on exactly the same route. The 5K course travels around Evangeline Blvd, makes a U-turn just before reaching Brunswick Forest Parkway, and returns to the start via the same route. 1-mile Trot with Spot is and out and back.

No Dog/No Problem

Runners without dogs are welcome for sure in all races. The Hound Hustle 5K is well suited for runners and walkers with dogs, as is the 1-mile Trot with Spot. The 10K is primarily for runners but if your dog is fit and used to running 6.2 miles then they are certainly welcome to run with you. Again, extreme caution is required while running with your well behaved dog.

Safety Precautions

All Dogs must be on a leash at all times. Running with your dog adds an extra level of risk to you and those runnning around you.
