Whether you think your own wiener dog has what it takes to be a champion or you just want to see the sight of dozens of cute pups dashing for glory, the 5rd Annual Kirkland Oktoberfest Wiener Dog Race is a playful event not to be missed!

Be sure to yell for your favorite dachshund when the race official sounds the “go” whistle! This is a timed competition on a grass track stretching 30 yards from start to finish. But don’t be surprised if more than a few dogs take time out along the way to socialize with fans and onlookers!

We do ask that all dogs are at least 9 months old at time of race with all valid city licensing and shots. 

Registration is FREE thanks to our generous sponsors.
