FAQs

Q. I want to run at the same time as other people but we don't fit into any of the Ruff Mudder Groups. What do we do?

A. Enter as individuals. Decide on a start time (wave) before entering, and all choose that time. one person can do the entering for everyone. Make sure you have all information and payment ready. You can still choose a team name amongst yourselves. Purchase matching Ruff Mudder t-shirts. We can put your logo on them!

Q. I have two dogs. Can I take them both?

A. No. The course cannot be safely navigated.

If you have two dogs, you can enter twice and then you would run the course with each individual dog. You must have someone to care for the dog not running.

Q. Do I have to be there all day?

A. No. You arrive at the registration tent one hour before your wave. After you complete the course you can leave.

Q. Are there other things to do while I'm there?

Yes! The Bark It Market - vendors from across Ontario. Chosen for their high quality, unique dog specific goodies.

Chill out with the cool beverages supplied by Collingwood Brewery. Their Happy Tails ale is a local favourite.

Yummy food and snacks are available for you and your dog.

And, of course, cheering on others as they cross the finish line is a Ruff Mudder tradition.
