Bad Dawg Ultra Endurance Run
The Bad Dawg Ultra Endurance Run takes place August 15–16, 2026 in Waynesville, MO. This is the sixth annual running of the event, organized by Frog Fitness Group. The race uses a simple format on a 10 mile out and back loop through the Ozarks with packed gravel, rolling hills, and tree cover.
Two aid stations support the course: a fully stocked station at the start and finish, and a minimally stocked turnaround. Both stations provide Gatorade, water, typical aid station food, and bathrooms. All turnarounds are clearly marked.

Pacers are allowed for the 100 Mile and 100K after the midpoint; 100K pacers join at the start of the final lap. Pacers must check in before heading out. No pacers are allowed for other distances.
Packet pickup is scheduled the day before the race and a free pasta dinner is planned the evening before the event; RSVP is requested for the dinner. Entry support benefits the OneSolePurpose project. On-site camping is allowed, crew and family may use the main aid station area, and well behaved pets are welcome. Finishers receive distance-specific awards and a souvenir race shirt is included with entry. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
