Bad Dawg Ultra Endurance Run
The Bad Dawg Ultra Endurance Run is scheduled for August 15–16, 2026 in Waynesville, MO. The event is organized by Frog Fitness Group. Every entry supports the OneSolePurpose project, which provides a new pair of shoes to every elementary student in local Title 1 school districts.
The course is a 10-mile out-and-back loop through the Ozarks with packed gravel, rolling hills, and tree cover. Two aid stations serve the loop: one fully stocked at the start and finish, and one minimally stocked at the turnaround. Both stations supply Gatorade, water, typical aid station food, and bathrooms. Turnarounds are clearly marked.

Pacers are allowed for the 100 Mile and 100K after mile 50; pacers are not allowed for other distances. Crew and family may use the main aid station area.
