DRINK WATER!

Keep in mind that not only will Siberians be running,  BUT our four run events welcome AKC All Breeds and AKC All American dogs as well.  Each day the events will have rolling starts beginning at 10 AM and concluding at 3 PM. This aids in much more efficiently run FastCAT events.  There will be 2 runs each day, run concurrently. Dogs must be inspected in-between each of their runs. We have staff who will inspect the dogs so there will not be waiting & stand around time between runs. The rest period between the two daily run events are at the discretion of the owners/handlers within their time block. Entrants will be offered the opportunity to request a preference for one of the three 2 hour run blocks on the entry forms in August. DRINK WATER! We are aware that there are competing SHCA activities on Sunday, October 13th. However, given that FastCAT is an outdoor activity & especially at that time of year, we are at the mercy of daylight and sundown. With the Rocky Mountains as the western horizon in Estes Park, sundown comes earlier than other geographic

areas of our state.For those of you cranking numbers to keep track of your Siberian’s mileage/points and believe they will earn a title during one of the four October SHCA National FastCats….there will be a form for you to fill out & submit late August for an SHCA personalized title rosette. DRINK WATER! Said form will be posted on the FaceBook Estes Park SHCA National Specialty page.

Stay tuned!
