Dogs are not allowed on the installation, with the exception of licensed service animals.

“My team at Naval Magazine Indian Island is looking forward to welcoming the community on base for this event and sharing some of the island’s natural beauty with race participants,” said commanding officer, Cmdr. Todd Galvin.
