Wondering what exactly will happen at this event?
This Wiener vs Corgi races event centers around determining who the fastest long-bodied doggy is! Anyone with a Dachshund can enter the Wiener dog specific races to see if their fur baby has what it takes to be named the FASTEST wiener in Northwest Arkansas; likewise, if you have a Corgi, you can enter the Corgi dog specific races to see if you have the fastest Corgi. Then, when 1 champion of the Wieners is named and 1 champion of the Corgis is named, those two dogs will race against each other - after all, there can only be one final winner! Races will be organized by breed and age; all 1st and 2nd place winners from each heat will get a trophy!
Don't have a Wiener dog or a Corgi dog? Then maybe you've got a Wiener or Corgi "Wannabe"?!? Anyone who wants to race their dog who doesn't happen to be a Wiener or a Corgi in the Wannabe race!
