RESCHEDULED: Running of the Chihuahuas (at the Wharf)
The Running of the Chihuahuas is a free, family-friendly event featuring iconic Chihuahua races on District Pier. Over 100 Chihuahuas race in groups of eight on a 60-foot “race track”. The fastest dogs move on in the winners’ bracket until a single Chihuahua is crowned the champion. Winners take home a dog-friendly swag bag, a trophy, and cash prizes. Spectators can view all the action on two giant video screens on both District and Transit Pier.
The cost is $30 per dog racing, and dogs should be registered. All proceeds benefit Rural Dog Rescue, a non-profit organization dedicated to pulling dogs from high-kill rural shelters.
Only Chihuahuas may participate in the races, but all dogs can participate in the excitement during the all-breed dog costume contest. If you’re looking for a furry friend to bring home, check out the Adoptable Dog Parade between the Chihuahua races.
