Bad Dawg Ultra Endurance Run
The Bad Dawg Ultra is a multi-distance endurance run held August 15 to 16, 2026 in Waynesville, MO. The event uses a 10-mile out-and-back loop through the Ozarks on packed gravel with rolling hills and tree cover. Turnarounds are clearly marked.
There are two aid stations on course: a fully stocked main station at the start/finish and a minimally stocked station at the turnaround. Both provide water, Gatorade, typical aid station food, and bathroom facilities. Crew and family may set up at the main aid station. On-site camping is allowed on a first-come, first-served basis. Well-behaved pets are welcome.
Distances include:
- 100 Mile
- 100K
- 50 Mile
- 50K
- 25K
- 12-Mile Run
- 12-Mile Ruck
Loop counts vary by distance; for example, the 100 Mile is ten loops and the 50K is three loops with a slightly longer first loop. Pacers are allowed for the 100 Mile and 100K after mile 50; 100K pacers pick up at mile 52. No pacers, including cyclists, are permitted for other distances. Registration includes a tri-blend race shirt. Awards and finisher items are distributed by distance. Every entry supports the OneSolePurpose project, which provides new shoes to elementary students in local Title 1 school districts. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
