• Proper skijor equipment (i.e., proper Y harness, no retractable or hand-held leashes) must be used.
• If it is obvious that a person/dog has no experience the team will not be permitted to participate.
• If a dog displays inappropriate behaviour (i.e., fear, aggression, etc.) the team will not be permitted to participate.
• Teams must clean up after themselves during the event.
• The event organizers reserve the right to not permit a skijor team to participate if deemed to be a risk to the dog itself, other participants or member/general public or to disqualify and/or remove a team for not complying with any of the rules of the event.
• If a team is removed or disqualified from the event, a refund will not be provided.
