A virtual race during these Covid times!
This race is based solely on the number of miles you run your team. You'll be out training anyway, so this hopefully gives some incentive. Please read the rules carefully before you enter. This is not like other virtual “races”.
Must be a member of PSDC. You may join for a full membership: senior or family. Or, for virtual races only, we offer a Covid membership of $10 that is good only for virtual races from PSDC. This is a non-voting membership. Should you decide to enter a real race later in the season, you will be required to pay the full membership fee with a credit for what you have already paid. (Club membership runs from June 1, 2020- May 31, 2021. If you paid a membership to run one of our races in 2019-2020 your account ended May 31, 2020.)
Each musher may only enter one team in one race, so choose wisely which category you want for you and your team. You must provide names and photos of all dogs on your team. No switching dogs. You must be able to provide proof of miles run and time via a GPS app. We also encourage everyone to post photos of your team each week under the event section of Facebook.
You will state your choice of race and name your team members through email to: Donna Quante (djqhusky at yahoo dot com) and Laurie Stone (stonemyst2001 at yahoo dot com). You must email both of us. You will then receive an invoice from Marsha Stoffa, club treasurer, for your payment through Paypal. Do not send money until you receive an invoice. (You do not need a PayPal account to pay, just a credit card.)
Each week, which will run Sunday-Saturday, you will send your stats and GPS info for up to three runs to Laurie and Donna. You must email both of us with this information. Your miles will be added together. In the event of a tie after 6 weeks, we will use times to determine a winner.
