That's right! Less than two weeks from today, Portland will be the host of yet another world-class cyclocross event: the inaugural Doggie Dog Cyclocross World Championship!

What?
A free, fun race for dogs and dog owners of all breeds, ages and sizes, presented by Cycle Dog and Meat and hosted at the Kruger's Crossing Cyclocross Classic.

When?
Sunday, November 22 from 12:30 to 1:00pm

Where?
Kruger's Farm on Sauvie Island

Race Specifics:
- Dog course will be about 1/2 mile long and feature barriers, mud, puddles, and a bunch of other things dogs might appreciate.
- No bikes in this race. Just dogs running with their owners (on-leash or off-leash).
- We'll have 4 race categories: Open Co-Ed, Clydesdale 60 lbs+, Masters 10yrs+, Carry-On & Lap Dogs (owners need to carry their dog throughout the whole course)
- The races are free, but owners need to sign a waiver and pick up a special dog bib number at registration.

Prizes/Awards:
- Cool awards for top finishers in each category
- Grand prize for the most original dog attire (lycra dog team kits strongly recommended!)
- Yummy dog treats for all participants!

Dog Corral/Lounge:
We will have a fenced-off corral where canine racers of the friendly kind can socialize before and after their race. Dog owners are responsible for the good behavior and well-being of their dogs.

Oh yeah, there will also be some regular cross races. And kiddie races. And a bonfire. And beer...

Is the age "CX racing age" or real age? One of my dogs is on the cusp
of being a Masters 10+. LOL.

after she got that bicycle...

That explains their fascination with chasing spinning wheels...

Every revolutionary idea seems to evoke three stages of reaction...
One, it's completely impossible.
Two, it's possible, but it's not worth doing.
Three, I said it was a good idea all along.

Love it !!!

You know, of course, that cyclocross originated on a planet in the Dog
Star. It worked like agility trials do on Earth, with the dogs
accompanying and encouraging the human cyclists. Once on earth, the dogs
dropped away, leaving only the cyclists. Full circle, at last.
