When: August 21, 2026, from 2 PM – 5 PM
Where: College Square – head towards the downtown Chick-fil-A to find the check-in tent


The first 300 students to check-in at the event table will receive a free t-shirt! All students will scan their student ID at the check-in table and be directed to our online event map.

Students will visit at least 10 locations, take a selfie at each, and attach all photos to the online submission form. The online submission form will require you to log in with your UGA ID. You will attach 10 photos and submit them at one time. Once you have submitted your form, you will receive 1 entry for form submission, 2 additional entries for visiting all locations in one of the two quadrants, 1 additional entry for a picture with Hairy Dawg and Clawdius, and 1 additional entry for posting and tagging @UGAGR on social media using #NorthoftheArch, all of which will be verified at the check-in table. You can have up to 5 entries in the raffle. Only one submission form can be submitted per student.

There will be two ‘Golden Bulldogs’ hidden downtown along the route. Students will have the opportunity to search for the bulldogs during the event, and the first two to find them and report back to the check-in table will receive a special prize!

A group lines up at the North of the Arch check in table.
