The 2026 Great Bark Bash

The Great Bark Bash is a one-day dog event at the Deschutes Historical Museum in downtown Bend. It focuses on pets and their families, with races designed for dogs, not for serious human competition. The event features Wiener Dog Races, the Running of the Bulldogs, and the Corgi Crush. The format includes short sprints, breed-specific races, and races for all dogs, with prizes for participants.
