RACE START TIMES - NEW FOR 2020

We have made changes to accommodate physical distancing at the race start. Rather than use hand timing and a traditional race start, we are utilizing chip timing and start time slots. Chip timing is able to precisely measure your race results by registering your race chip as you pass the start and finish lines. You will have an individual clock associated with your race bib.

XXC - Begin your race anytime between 8:00 a.m. and 8:15 a.m.

Expert XC - Begin your race anytime between 9:45 a.m. and 10:00 a.m.

Sport XC and Beginner - Begin your race anytime between 10:00 a.m. and 10:30 a.m.

Meet at the Upper Pandapas Parking Lot, 4171 Pandapas Pond Road, Blacksburg, VA 24060.

Check-in and day of registration for the Rowdy Dawg can be made starting at 7:00 a.m. on October 25, and will continue until each race start time.
