Registration for the race begins at 9 a.m. The race begins at 10 a.m. The adult race will be followed at 11 a.m. by a 2.5k maximum distance race for youth under 14 years of age. Distances for this race will be determined by age and experience. There will be age and gender categories for both distances with awards given for the first three placings in each. Entry fees for the event are $10 for the 5k and $5 for the 2.5k.

At the conclusion of the other events there will be a ski-joring 1k sprint race, with each owner and dog timed individually. Participants for this event should register by 10:45 a.m. There is no entry fee.

The course utilizes rolling terrain. It is a low key and friendly event, welcoming all ability levels. Light refreshments will be served after the event.

The race honors Rod Thomas, a longtime dedicated race official, whose enthusiasm and easy banter made the start and finish of the race a special experience.
