About the Race

The 2024 1st Annual Wiener Dog Wiener Nationals is a fundraising event where dachshund owners showcase their dogs in a race with contests for speed and style. The Fundraiser is for our wonderful Veterans and their families here in Hawaii. Races will take place in fenced racetrack located at the Shipman Park in Keaau Hawaii on October 12th, 2024. Along with the races there will be a costume contest and a talent contest.

Rules and Regulations:

  • All dogs must have current shots. Please ensure your dog has the current DHPP, and Bordatella vaccines. (Parvo and Kennel Cough are highly contagious)
  • All participating dogs must be a Wiener Dog (if mixed must be at least 1/2 dachshund). Other breeds will not be allowed to participate.
  • Owners may bring their dog's favorite toy.
  • All dogs MUST be on a leash when on the premises. Leashes will be removed from pets once at the starting line. Upon completion of the heat, dogs are required to be leashed.
  • Owners are required to clean up after their dogs.
  • Dogs should be on their best behavior (i.e. no fighting or biting).
  • Only 2 owners will be allowed in the racetrack area (one at the starting line and one at finish line).
  • No waving blankets or large items around the racetrack so as not to scare our babies.
  • If entering more than one dog, you need to fill out a form for each dog.
