Participants will also have the opportunity each day to meet the day pack dog requirement by hiking a 10-mile hike on either day. One title leg will be awarded for the successful completion of one 10-mile hike on one day. If you are planning for a 10-mile leg, please let Pack Hike Coordinators, Ross and Angie Luengen, know ahead of time. Their contact info is below.
Pack hiking event fees will be $15 dollars for members and $20 for non-members for the two-day hike and $10 dollars for members and $15 dollars for non-members for the one day, 10-mile hike.
Each packing dog must be at least 18 months old and have completed at least one training workout consisting of 6 miles carrying their pack weight. A veterinarian’s certificate of the dog’s weight must be provided. The weight may be taken up to 7 days prior to the hike. Weights may be noted on stationery, business cards, invoices, receipts or other documentation that demonstrates the veterinarian’s certification via signature.
