Welcome to the Mad Brit's “OneWorld Canine Obstacle Run” in Anniston, AL
What is the Fall - OneWorld Canine Obstacle Run?
The event is run by teams of owner/dog. Owner/Dog teams will run together on more than 30+ obstacles over the most challenging terrain, including natural and manmade obstacles, dense woodlands, dirt, sand, and water.
Held at the 200-acre OneWorld Pet Resort in Anniston, Alabama [McClellan], The OneWorld Canine Obstacle Run was founded for you to experience the most rewarding canine bonding experience possible. This 4+ mile event will feature more than 30+ purpose-built obstacles over the toughest terrain. You and your dog will bring the very best out of each other to succeed.
The event is open to all types of owners with their canines, including Civilian dog owners, Search & Rescue dog teams, Military working dog teams, and Police Dog teams. In addition, the race is open to challengers and thrill seekers of all ages and experience levels, from 10yrs old to 100yrs old. Your overall score and time will be determined by course finish time as a base, then there will be time reductions based on your age and that of your dog’s age. The OneWorld Canine Obstacle Run is also open to individual entries who wish to complete without a canine partner or those canine teams who wish to take on the course as a group.
Some handlers bring two dogs and want to run the course twice - once with each dog. We have a Saturday 2nd Run option for those who want to run twice. You can also run the course for fun on sunday [not timed or staffed].
The Event happens twice a year, the third wekend in May and the thrid weekend in October every year. The event will be the Fall Event and it is Halloween themed, so get your costumes [human and dog] ready and beware of the clowns!

Results Categories
EVERY person, whether registered as an individual or a member of a team, will be included in one of the race categories. When registering you will be asked which division you will compete in.
The Fall event does not have individual catogories but will have spot prizes throughout the event.
Handicap Time Adjustments
There are no awards for the fall race - it is a fun race - but we still use our handicap time adjustments. They help level the competitive field. How the time adjustment works:
- Handler: Deduct 20 sec for every year older than 21 years
- Canine: Deduct 1 min for each year of age over 2 years
