About this race

Welcome to the first annual Bark and Dash Bash!

Fun Run Dog & Human Obstacle Course : ~ ½ Mile & ~1 Mile

Grab your pup and your friends and join us for a Fun Run Dog & Human Obstacle Course designed for all ages and experience levels! Teams of one dog and one (or more) humans will tackle either a ½ mile or 1 mile loop filled with low, dog-friendly obstacles and lots of muddy, happy moments. This is not a timed race. This is a Fun Run or Walk over, through and around simple obstacles.

PRIZES will be had for best costume, best blooper, 

🏆 Best Dog & Human Costume

🏆 Dirtiest Team

🏆 Best Blooper

🏆 Team Spirit

🏆 Most Determined Dog

You’ll weave through pole bending sections, step over low logs, navigate small ditches, splash through gentle water crossings, and crawl through a straw tunnel built for dogs and humans alike. Every obstacle is low impact and designed to be approachable for first-timers—this event is about fun, confidence, and teamwork, not elite athletic performance.

Choose the ½ Mile Fun Loop for a relaxed, family-friendly pace or the 1 Mile Adventure Loop for a bit more challenge. You can walk, jog, or run—whatever feels right for your team.
