Last year, SO Colorado moved powerlifting registration to their Winter Season registration. By doing so, they allowed the teams to receive their rosters and start practices well before the April Denver/Northeast Regional meet in Greeley.

This year, they are doing the same thing. Registration for powerlifting athletes and coaches will open October 5th and will run through November 1st.

Remember when you register to select that you have a team and then select Rude Dogs and Tom Miller from the drop down menu.

As of this writing, our first practice is scheduled for Tuesday, February 2, 2027, at 6:30 p.m. at our paw-ffice – Rude Recreation Center (2855 W Holden Place, Denver, 80204 – near the intersection of Colfax and Federal). Practices will run every Tuesday until State Games in June.

We will also be offering an optional (but highly recommended) second practice with our partners at Muscle + Mindset. The first Mighty Mutts practice is tentatively scheduled for Thursday, February 25, 2026 at 6:30 p.m. at their location (110 Yuma, Denver CO). These practices will run every other Thursday until the State Games in June.

A calendar with all scheduled practices and meets will be available on this website. There is also a page with maps showing all of these locations.

If you participated in our 2026 season, you’ll be receiving an email (from our new email address info@rudedogs.org) with further details.

One final note: 2027 will be the 175th dog season (25th in human years) of the Rude Dogs. We hope you’ll join The Bark Side and celebrate this milestone!

WOOF!
