2026 Duo Dash

Get Ready for the 5th Annual Duo Dash 5K & 1-Mile Dog Walk!

Mark your calendars — the Duo Dash is back! Lace up your shoes, leash up your pups, and join us for a day of fun, fitness, and fundraising, all to benefit Duo Dogs.

This year’s race is extra special as we’ll also be celebrating Duo Ambassador Dog Barclay’s 8th birthday at the Dash!

Help us make Barclay’s birthday extra sweet by bringing a donation to the race:

• New hard dog toys (all ages)
• Dog training treats (Zuke's or Charlee Bear preferred)
• Coconut Oil
• Round cotton pads
• Head to our wishlist for more ideas.

Teams are encouraged to set up fundraising pages for their dogs and compete in a friendly contest for ultimate bragging rights — who will be crowned the highest fundraiser? 

Whether you’re running, walking, or cheering from the sidelines, it’s going to be a paw-some day you won’t want to miss! 

Both races will start inside the park at the Son's of Rest Shelter.

Sign up by August 21st to guarantee a shirt. Please note that there is no giveaway included with the youth registration.

Packet pick-up will be on Thursday, September 10, from 4-8 PM, and Friday, September 11th, from 12-6 at Duo Dogs.

There will be no packet pickup on the morning of the race.
