Sheri and Mike originally began coordinating the races 18 years ago. They connected with Oktoberfest Northwest through their years of work in rescue and the partnership has continued.
​
Over the years the event has continued to grow and the consistent volunteers have helped make this happen!
Jenny was working in rescue with Sheri and upon hearing about the races decided to bring her own dachshund, Brinnon, to race 16 years ago. Brinnon's racing career flamed out immediately. However, Jenny wanted to continue participating in the races and has taken on a pivotal role in this event as our official Registration Coordinator.
Today, Sheri, Mike & Jenny work collaboratively to make the event possible.
