All participants will receive a medal, even if you only complete 5K, and I will still list your 5K finish time in the official results. No worries. I'm just a little loony and forgot to add that to the original blog.<br />

<span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Why Dog
Daze? It gets hot in August. Sirius the Dog Star rises with the Sun in the
North East Sky. Most Dogs will hide in
the shade, under the porch or a shady tree… but not you, you are Sun Dogs and bask
in its rays for daze on end. Why
Doubles? Two races… Half-Dazed and
Full-on / Ultra-Dazed.<br />

<span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">This run is
targeted to runners competing in the America’s Finest City Half Marathon 2 weeks
afterwards. It can also be a tune-up for the Bulldog 50K on 8/24…or for Disneyland
Half one month later, heck, you can run it just because there’s no other long
runs in the South Bay this time of year.

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">This is your
chance to get in that last long run before the BIG race. The course is
remarkably flat, 5K loop, on forgiving dirt trails around a park and golf
course. There is one <b><i><u>OPTIONAL</u></i></b> hill you can run per
lap, it’s about 30 feet high, it's <b><i><u>optional</u></i></b> for all but <u>lunatics </u>and it only adds to the EXTRA MILE :D Gaiters or trail shoes recommended but not
required.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">This course
is easy on your feet, has some shaded areas, separated from street traffic, and
parking is free at the start/ finish. There are several brick and mortar
restrooms, drinking fountains, Starbucks, Mc Donalds, Jack in the Box, AM/ PM
and free WiFi at the start/ finish line. There is also an Ice Cream
Parlor, Rite Aid, Vons, as well as Oyster bar, Taco Shop, and some other eating
and drinking establishments for post-race refreshments right across the street.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
Added benefits: Complete a half marathon at Dog Daze Doubles, then at AFC
Half Marathon and you WILL QUALIFY to become a Half Fanatic with 2 in 16 days. Join the rest of us insane distance
runners who call ourselves Maniacs and Fanatics! <a href="http://www.marathonmaniacs.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Www.marathonmaniacs.com</span></a>.
<a href="http://www.halffanatics.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Www.halffanatics.com</span></a><br />
<br />
Time limits: 5 hours for the Half (Half Fanatic limits) and 7 hours for the
full. 50 K option for Ultra Lunatics, but still 7 hour maximum.<br />
<br />
Aid station every 5 K will serve water, Gatorade, sweet and salty
foods and old-school ultra faire. Drinking fountains every mile or so,
you shouldn't have to carry more than 6-8 oz. with you even on a Hot day. We will have Ice, but no hot drinks…
Starbucks is across the street if you need hot coffee on a hot day.<br />
<br />
Finishers medal to all who complete at least 10 miles ( 3 laps plus short out
and back) of half marathon course and 20 miles ( 6 laps plus out and back) of
marathon course. No cash awards, free cars or other prizes, but
Ultrasignup will post you as the record holder for this course, should you win.
They also have age group rankings and other neat stuff... which is why I
use them instead of Active.<br />
<br />
This is the same course we used for the Rohring Round the Clock 6 hour, 12 hour
and 100 mile races in February and July, and the Rohring Rock Races in May. Its
a very fast course, ( 100 mile winner took just over 17 hours, 12 Hour Winner
ran 125K, 50K Winner took 3:38 ) but you can take your time and finish with a
steady pace.<br />
<br />
<u>Official results posted on Ultrasignup.com</u> and sent to Athlinks.<br />

</span><u><span style="font-size: 18.0pt; line-height: 115%;">This is a low-key
race</span></u><span style="font-size: 18.0pt; line-height: 115%;">, so we don't
have live bands, cheer squads, fire engines spraying cold water, obstacle
courses, water slides or other big league hoopla. <u>No beer garden
or jello shots either</u>, because we believe that running and either alcohol
or drugs don't mix. Besides, you have to drive somewhere after the race,
so why take a risk? </span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />

not, since our closets are already overflowing with cheesy,

we will take as many as we can, post them on facebook for your <u>free </u>downloading
pleasure within a week of the run. And you can post yours on the site
too, for all your friends to see and enjoy, or to show them how crazy you
really are. Most people wont run 2 (half) marathons in a lifetime and you
are crazy enough to run 2 in less than a month...</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

You can wear a costume, but please leave your dogs, parrots, iguanas, snakes,
pot-bellied pigs, rollerblades, strollers and skateboards at home.
We share the trails with horses, hikers, walkers, other runners and an
occasional duck, goose or cyclist. However, most of the trail is over 15
ft. Wide, so there should be ample space to run in small groups (2 across) if
you wish. Just be courteous, pay attention and have fun. You may
run, run/walk/run or any combination thereof. We will TRY to provide 5K
splits accurate to 1 minute or less.<br />
<br />
</span><span style="font-size: 18.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Limit of 75 runners for
Half and Full combined. </span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
No limit for Ultra Lunatics because we are probably running continuously all
weekend anyways and most of us travel far and wide to run, start at midnight
Friday and Run till 7AM Sunday morning, when we unfortunately have to get ready
for work...<br />
