Dog Days of Summer | Presented by Beach Automotive 2026

The Dog Days of Summer, presented by Beach Automotive, is a summer running race in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, featuring a dog theme from its name to its charity partner. Packet pickup is available on Friday evening at Black Dog Running Company or on race morning at Tidal Creek Brewhouse. The race benefits South Paw Rescue, a local organization assisting dogs. The event accommodates both competitive runners aiming for personal records and those seeking a casual summer run. Awards are presented to the top three male and female finishers overall, and to age-group finishers from 0-9 to 70+. Winners must be present to claim awards, as they are not mailed.
