COURSE DETAILS (course is subject to change upon final approval)

Starting in Husky Stadium, both the 5K and 10K courses will loop up onto the UW campus and travel along the scenic trails and roads of the school. As runners approach Drumheller Fountain, they will be greeted by the familiar sounds of the UW Alumni Band. After taking their respective routes, both the 5K and 10K will then return to Husky Stadium for the finish.

COURSE NOTES:

The course includes several sharp turns which may cause difficulties for wheelchairs.
Participants with strollers or dogs are required to start at the rear.
Strollers and/or wheelchairs will need to make a minor detour in order to avoid stairs at the foot of the bridge over Montlake Blvd. (crossing from the area in front of Hec Edmundson Pavilion to the Burke-Gilman Trail). There is a ramp available at the foot of the bridge.
A medical team is stationed along the course and at the finish line area

TIMING

The Dawg Dash will be timed using the Winning Chip technology. All participants must wear a chip in order to appear in the results. Chips must be returned at the conclusion of the event, or a fee of $30 will be issued for each unreturned chip.

DOGS

What better way to run the Dawg Dash then with your own dog. Dogs are welcome this year, but be sure to be considerate to those runners and walkers around you. Be sure to have your dog on a leash and keep him/her well supervised. No dogs are allowed on the turf of Husky Stadium.
