Explanation of Team Competitions:
Lead Dog Challenge Relay - All Canicross, Bikejor and Scooter competitors are invited to form relay teams for Sunday's finale event. Don't have a team? - Let us know, we will find a team for you. The relay will kick off with an exciting mass start for the Canicross leg. Canicrossers will negotiate a 2.5K trail and then tag off to their 1-dog Bikejor teammate. Bikejor teams will race the full 5K trail before the tag off to the anchor leg, the 2-dog scooter. The first scooter competitor to break the tape after completing the 5K trail is the winner and their team will take the honors of the first Lead Dog Challenge Relay Champion.
