We are on the lookout for a few good wieners for the 26th annual Wienerschnitzel Wiener Nationals to be held at Los Alamitos Race Course on Saturday, July 15. The 50-yard dash for Dachshunds has been the most popular event at Los Alamitos each year with over 250,000 people enjoying the event over the years. The event always draws a great crowd to enjoy a great night at the races during the Wiener Nationals. We expect another great evening of racing.
If you have a dachshund, or know someone that does, and would like to enter the Wienerschnitzel Wiener Nationals at Los Alamitos Race Course here is what you need to do.
Write us a story and tell us why your Wiener Dog should be in the Wiener Nationals. Please make the letter as creative as possible because creativity, more than speed, counts here. You must send a photo of your dachshund. You can also send us a drawing; poem; essay; photos, video or a link to your social media page, etc. If you make it, we will consider it. We'll return your entries at your request. Please send your entry by June 1, 2023 to larace@losalamitos.com or mail it to:
Dogs will be selected to compete in trial races with winner, or wiener, of each trial advancing to the Wienerschnitzel Wiener National at Los Alamitos Race Course. We expect to receive hundreds of entries, so get your entry in early. There's no fee to enter - in fact your doggie will win $100 if he/she comes in first place in one of the trials and an additional $900 if he/she wins the championship race.
