I'd like to add, if you dog gets away from you and runs into the field,

knocking riders down, the polite, correct thing would be to check on their

condition and not just dissapear!

Subject: [OBRA Chat] Dogs and Young Kids at PIR





 The organizers and officials would request, nicely, that if you bring your

dogs to PIR that they have to be on a leash. The also cannot be near or

around the racers, gate area or finish line. No exceptions. Thanks for

understanding.



Also young children will now be required to be near parents or whoever is

taking care of them. There were too many young kids running around near

the

 finish line area, close the the racers.



Sorry to be so heavy handed about this, but we have to do this for safety

reasons. We want to make the race friendly and inviting but we need to be

cautious. Thanks for understanding, please let me know of any concerns.
