Hot Diggity Weenie Dog Race

June 12th
Holy Cross Abbey Football Field
Cañon City, Colorado

The Third Annual “Hot Diggity Weenie Dog Race” will again be held in conjunction with the Royal Gorge Holy Smoke BBQ Showdown, pitting dashing dachshunds from all around the region in a 50-foot dash for glory! Entry fees for 2010 will be $10 for the first pooch, and $5 per dog (from the same family) after that. We will again have three categories for dogs; 1.) Puppy Division - one year old and under, 2.) Adult Division - one year through seven years of age, and 3.) Senior Division - all those loveable old doxies that are older than seven years. The race will be held at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, June 12, on the former Abbey football field, following the awards ceremony for the BBQ Showdown. The 2008 and 2009 races each attracted more than 50 dachshunds, and a huge crowd lined up around the perimeter to watch the action! The race is for dachshunds only, but dogs do not have to be AKC registered. Check out some shots from the 2008 races under our “Photos” section! And make sure you get there early, to get a good spot along the fence to watch the action!
