Bark Bash 5K Run 2026

The Bark Bash 5K Run is a dog-friendly 5K held at ACE Adventure Resort on Concho Road in Oak Hill, West Virginia. Participants can register with a dog or run solo, though the prize structure favors those who bring a canine companion. The event welcomes serious runners and those seeking a relaxed walk with their dog, contributing to a more casual atmosphere than a race exclusively for humans. The course winds through the resort grounds, with participants and their dogs navigating the property. Dogs must be kept on a leash. Registration provides a race medal, dog treats, and a commemorative shirt for those who sign up early. Following the run, the day features dog-friendly activities, refreshments, and a post-race gathering at the resort.
