Bad Dawg Ultra Endurance Run
The Bad Dawg Ultra is the sixth annual multi-distance endurance event held August 15–16, 2026 in Waynesville, MO at 25785 Red Oak Road. The race uses a 10 mile out-and-back loop through the Ozarks with packed gravel, rolling hills, and tree cover. Two aid stations serve the course: a fully stocked station at the start and finish, and a minimally stocked turnaround station that offers Gatorade, water, typical aid station food, and bathrooms. Turnarounds are clearly marked.
Every entry supports the OneSolePurpose project, which provides a new pair of shoes to elementary students in local Title 1 school districts.

Loop counts by distance are provided by the race organizer and include variations for some first loops. Packet pickup is scheduled the day before the race; race-day pickup is possible with prior arrangement. A free pasta dinner is offered the evening before the event and requires an RSVP for planning.
Pacers are allowed only for the 100 Mile and 100K after mile 50, with a specified pickup for 100K pacers at the start of the final lap; pacers must check in before heading out. Race registration includes a souvenir tri-blend shirt. On-site camping is allowed, crew and family can set up at the main aid station, and well behaved pets are welcome.
The event offers a third-party refund guarantee option that covers individual inability to participate but does not cover event cancellations. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
