Stand back at pre-event briefings if your dog is prone to barking. This is to ensure that participants can hear announcements clearly and don't get distracted.

When walking or running with a dog please position yourself at the start line according to predicted finish time.

 

Keep your dog on a lead, by your side, within arms reach, and under control throughout the event.
