All of our trail & canicross events have a virtual aspect.


Kenosha Running Company is welcoming and encouraging to all those near and far that cannot attend our event in person, to join us in spirit and share the day with us. We will continue to offer all of our trail & canicross events virtually. Those that join us virtually are encouraged to share the highlights of their run, walk or hobble by emailing the story and pictures to us, sharing on our Facebook page, or tagging us #KenoshaRunningCompany and we will include them in our event recap email and in our monthly digital magazine.  You will also receive a bib number via email. Please join us regardless of your location and share in the trail - canicross kind of fun! 

Dirty Dog Dare is the canicross companion event to the Meraki Trail Run. 

For more information, please visit http://www.xcthrillogy.com/meraki-trail-adventure-.html

Bullfrogs and songbirds will be your soundtrack.  Muskrats, deer, forest, and wildflowers will be your backdrop. The new spring grass will give you the bounce in your step to complete your chosen distance (or perhaps more)!

Participants will run on an approximately 3.65 mile loop with the opportunity to run up to 5 loops as a test of their trail fitness. You can bring a non-dog running partner with you, but they will need to sign up, as we do not want to split up friends or family members that enjoy running together with a single dog.


Event swag can be purchased here: https://www.bonfire.com/dirty-dog-dare-swag/
 
Online sign-up will conclude at 10am on the Friday before the event, same day sign-up will be available.
 
Event starts and finishes at Shelter 3 which is located by the beach on Vern Wolf Lake. It is the shelter closest to the Fishing Pier. 

XCThrillogy is offering RUNSURANCE on this event. If for any reason you are unable to attend the DIRTY DOG DARE, you can defer your entry to the next year's event, run a similarly priced event, or get 80% of your entry fee refunded. Select RUNSURANCE as an option during registration if you are interested.

Keep in mind that we offer a VIRTUAL run option for all of our canicross events.
