We want everyone to come out and PLAY! With our new sponsor we are excited to be able to offer free registration for all students entering grade 12 and younger. All events are $5 per person with no medals, ribbons or awards with the exception of the mountain bike series which will have end of season awards. GO PLAY shirts will be available for sale at all races. If you participate in all 12 events you will be crowned an official GO PLAY Champion at the last event of the season.

All funds raised, including entrance fees, are for the Rutland County Humane Society. There will be free swim throughout the event (for dogs only!) along with games (fastest doggy paddle and a dog jumping contest) and more. All dogs must be leashed unless swimming in the pool.
