2022 Northwest Versatility Weekend

WWWA is hosting the 21st annual Northwest Versatility Weekend over Memorial Day weekend, May 28-30, 2022 at the Tacoma Polo Club field in Roy, WA . This event is a showcase of the versatility of our wonderful whippets and the other sighthound breeds, with performance events for everyone! This year we are offering AOK9 racing and ASFA LCI stakes, and welcome non-sighthound breeds and mixes to join the fun!

  • Saturday is straight racing – WRA for whippets, LGRA for LGRA-eligible sighthounds, and AOK9 for non-sighthounds and mixed breeds.

  • Sunday is oval racing - NOTRA for whippets and all other NOTRA eligible sighthounds and AOK9 for non-sighthounds and mixed breeds.

  • Monday is ASFA lure coursing, with judges Beth Levine of Monroe, WA and Paul Sanders (provisional) of Damascus, OR. At the end of the day on Monday, Versatility awards will be conferred to the top ranked hound in each breed who completes all three events.

  • Practice opportunities will be available between programs and after the meet on Saturday and Sunday as time, weather and volunteers permit. Sorry, no practice available on Monday.

We need volunteers to help with a wide variety of jobs. You don’t have to be an expert to help out! We would love to help you learn the ropes, and there are plenty of non-running-related duties to help with.

Premium list, online entry forms and more information about the Versatility Weekend can be found on the event page.
