The Treadmill Race is an event that measures the endurance of a dog. Dogs run on a slat mill for 2 minutes and the distance traveled is read from an odometer and recorded.
There will be a treadmill race judge that stands by the mill and marks the time of finish and reinforces safety and rules. The judge’s decision is final.
