The hounds run 200 yards straight after a lure consisting of a fur, bag and squawker. Up to four hounds race a total of three times, called programs. Depending on the order of finish, they may attain national points towards a GRC, Gazehound Race Champion, title. All breeds will be using a four hole starting box; no hand slipping will be permitted at this race meet. Each box stall measures thirty-eight inches in height, five feet in depth, and a width of eighteen inches. Hounds need to be one year of age or older to be entered. They will also need to be registered with LGRA. This can be done the morning of the race meet by bringing a photocopy of the hound’s registration along with a $2 fee. After registration, your hound will receive a LGRA number that will be used in entering future LGRA meets.
