ARK's Dawgy Dash 2026 5K Run/Walk

Get ready to hit the ground running! Join us for ARK's 2026 Dawgy Dash on Saturday, April 11, 2026. Whether you're running competitively or strolling at a leisurely pace, you can bring your leashed dog along for the fun if you like. It's all about having a great time while supporting ARK's important work in the community. If you can't join us for the 5K, you can still order our snazzy race tee to help support ARK.

Prices - Adults - $35 and Youths (ages 4 - 14) - $30.  Early Bird special - get $10 off registration if you sign up by March 15, midnight.  We'll do our best, but we can't guarantee t-shirts for entries after this date.

Group Discount - Get a group together - church family, extended family, work buddies, sports teams, school clubs, social clubs, good friends - and save $5 on registrations with a group of 10 or more.  A prize is offered for the largest group, so start recruiting!  (Discounts adjusted after your team gets 10 members.)

The funds raised by the race will be used for ARK's work in the community: continued support and expansion of the Hart County Animal Shelter, ARK's feline foster/adoption program, Trap-Neuter-Return program for stray cats, spay/neuter/rabies vouchers to reduce the number of unwanted pets, educational outreach to develop the next generation of leaders, and providing information and solutions for pets and pet owners through social media. Any optional donations you provide are also truly appreciated, so we can continue helping animals. Learn more on ARK's website or on our Facebook page:  ARK for Hart.
