Trail shoes are very much recommended for this event - Riverhead Forest is notorious for it's mud and this year it's certainly going to live up to it's reputation. The pups are going to LOVE IT!

EVENT POSTPONEMENT - We have some ruff news π₯Ί
We have been glued to the many weather forecasting apps these last few days, monitoring the forecast for Sunday. Unfortunately, things have gotten increasingly worse, and we are now expecting very strong winds as well as a heavy rain watch in place.
We understand this will be very disappointing for you, but for the safety of our participants (you), volunteers, suppliers & staff, we have decided it is best to postpone the event. We do not make these calls lightly and are really sorry that we have had to do so.
Those of you entered in the event will have received full information in your inbox, and this can also be found on the event website.
The new event date will be Saturday 13th May 2023
We don't want you chasing your tail on event morning, so here's a handy checklist of what you need for the day β
YOUR HUMANS NAME π All you need for picking up your race pack
NON RETRACTABLE LEAD πΎ We will give you a snazzy pink Eukanuba one in your race bag, but you might need your favourite one for running.
GRIPPY SHOES π’ For your human - that infamous Riverhead mud can get slippery!
OLD TOWEL πΏ to dry you off after your hose down from our lovely Fire Brigade
CASH π° to make sure your human can get coffee and snacks.
EXTRA P**P BAG π© We will provide you with 2 x biodegradable p**p bags, but if you think you'll need another one then please stock up!
PRE EVENT INFORMATION!
This should now be in your Human's inbox, or on the confirmation page of your entry.
If this maybe got chewed before it reached them, a copy can be found online below.
Make sure you've all had a good read of this ahead of event day.

π 5km Frolic or 10km Romp
Make sure your Human has your entry sorted before Monday 17th April to get your name printed on your very own race number!
Your human will wear it for you on event day, obviously - why have a human and carry your own things?! Next they'd be asking you to pick up your own p**p! π€―
Bringing Pies to the People - the Jesters Pie Van will be joining us on event day to make sure your humans are well fed! π₯§
With vegan and gluten free options available there should be something for even your pickiest human π
Even the busiest working dogs need a day out to enjoy the trails with their humans! πΎ
Indie and Harper are highly trained Department of Conservation Conservation Dogs who are used to detect protected species or unwanted pests.
During work hours these two are busy protecting the Hauraki Gulf and other pest free islands from introduced pests, but will be coming to join on us for a romp at Eukanuba Tails & Trails ππβ€
Read more on these awesome here : https://www.doc.govt.nz/our-work/conservation-dog-programme/
The heroes at Kumeu Volunteer Fire Brigade will be on site on event day providing the post event showers to save Mum and Dad's car from your muddy paws! πΎ
A donation is made on behalf of the event, just in case your human forgets their cash, but as a volunteer organisation any additional funds are hugely appreciated to help them continue to serve our community.
Eukanuba Tails & Trails is an ON-LEAD event to make sure everyone has a safe and enjoyable day out! This includes the event base area too - if you've ever seen the 300 dogs on the start line together you'll understand why π
