On Sunday, March 4, 2012, Gold Run Nordic Center will host the 9th annual DogTerra with all the usual fun: there will be ski jor clinics, a Poker Snowshoe, flyball/agility courses, frisbee/chuck-it throws, free Abbey’s coffee, cocoa, donuts and doggie treats with PRIZES too! Prizes will be awarded to the top finishers and door prizes will be handed out towards the end of the event, so you must keep your bib #(anyone can win). Each paid entry allows you to participate in any of the events, since your dog(s) will be wearing the bib number. A Beginners Ski jor clinic and an Advanced coaching clinic must be reserved at registration (the instructor will classify your ability). Harness set ups for ski joring will be provided and the small groups will allow you some individual attention from Louisa Morrissey of Ski Jor-n-More, who donates her time and expertise every year. Free doggie treats from Zuke's and Trail Dog Treats and water will be offered all morning to satisfy your furry buddies. You will need to bring either snowshoes or nordic skiis (or rent). Gold Run Nordic will let all paid entrants stay to ski/snowshoe all day on their EXPANDED doggie trails and offer discounted rentals.
Back by popular demand: AGILITY COURSE and FLYBALL! Learn to do either or both at DogTerra and practice all year so you will be a star next year!

Registration begins at 9:00 until 9:30 and costs $25 PER DOG for LAPS members and $28 for non-members. Each additional dog will only be $10. Humans are Free! With the new format we are hoping to eliminate any waiting for results and long lines to participate in all the segments. This is a fun and inexpensive family outing with the hairy mutts in tow and all proceeds go to a great cause. Any of the family members can try the different events even if you only bring one dog. We’ll keep the courses open until 12:30. All proceeds benefit L.A.P.S. and we hope to see you there!

Gold Run Nordic is located on Tiger Road on Hwy 9 South at the Breckenridge Golf Course. Follow the signs to the clubhouse.
