🐰🐶 Hare of the Dog 2 Mile Race 🐶🐰

No pup!? Bring your own BARK bark! SQUEAK squeak!

Hey there, fur-iends and fluff enthusiasts, welcome to the most paws-itively hare-raising race of the year! We're the Upstate Race Series, and we've cooked up a 2-mile dash that’s as quick as a bunny and as playful as a pup!

Whether you bring your pet pal, a friend that’s furry, or if you’re flying solo (just hop on over and make a new fur-iend), this race promises fast, fun, and a dash of silliness. Our course is 100% paved—super speedy with only one itty-bitty hill at the very end.

Why Join Our Woof-tastic & Hoppin’ Good Time?

For All Ages: Kids, canines, and even the grown-ups shaking off the last night’s antics are welcome! 🎉

Family-Friendly Fun: It’s the perfect way to kickoff the New Year with a furry flourish and a hoppin’ good run!

Community Vibes: Join a pack and a burrow full of friends who all share a love for racing and a bit of mischief
