Wiener Dog Derby

Your wiener has been working hard all offseason for this, and now the time has arrived for the nation’s longest-running wiener dog derby! Participants square off in Wiener Stadium at Soulard Market to determine the dashingest dachshund in all of the land. In a series of six-dog elimination heats, competitors race down a 30-foot track with the winning wiener moving on to the next round until a champion is crowned. There will also be a Tito's Wiener Dog Derby hat contest (for hoomans only) so make sure you come dressed for the derby! There are four age-based classes for participating pups. Cocktail Wieners: Up to 4 years old Hot Dogs: 4-8 years old Ball Park Franks: 8 years and older Wiener Wannabe: Dogs small enough to fit in the starting box Registration is available the day of the event, but in order to avoid a distracted dachshund, register online and hit the ground running on race day.
