    I was just wondering if we had to fill out any type of entry forms for the contests, i.e. Best trick,Best dressed,etc?? Or do we just show up for these contests??

    THANK YOU!!!

      Nope! All the dog contests are just show up and enter as many as you like – $5 each. The times are approximate as we’re never sure how many folks are signing up for each contest. You can even register for the 5 k the day of the race at 8 am (starts at 9 am)! Glad you are coming!
