Technically Speaking:
There is nothing technical on the course.  Some portions you can run, some portions you cannot, and some you clearly shouldn’t.  You will experience many different types of obstacles and terrain.

Location/Directions:
The event starts in the McCubbins Gulch Recreation Area on Mt. Hood.  Take HWY 26 from Portland to Government Camp. From Government Camp continue on HWY 26 to the Tygh Valley/Maupin Turn-off (15 miles) then follow the turn-off for 5-miles to the McCubbins Gulch Area (on your left).

Camping:
There is camping at the event start/finish.  Camping is often exciting and shall we say... UNBELIEVABLE. Last year there was a moonlight naked swim with a rope of lanterns guiding the... “competitions” that evolved. For more information you may call the race headquarters (Dog Haus) at 971-223-2825.  Kevin is the camp director, you can e-mail him at: camp@xdogevents.com Do not miss out on the fun.

The Course:
The course is as stated, KICK ASS ADVENTURE. Use your imagination.  You will be going through the river and over the woods etc. -- and you ain’t goin’ to grandmas house.
Awards: Some sort of crap will be given out in divisions that we think are appropriate. None of that 5-year BS.  Middle of the Pack awards will be given as well as the highly coveted DFL Trophy.  Random prizes will be given away (in a manner that X-Dog views as “random”).
Post Event: Fine MACRO Beer and savory snacks. 

PRE-RACE - WE WILL BE FIRING UP THE SMOKER ON SATURDAY!  WE MAY EVEN TOSS A WHOLE PIG ON THE GRILL.
