The 20th Annual Dawg Jog 5K takes place in Athens, Georgia, at a new location for the 2026 edition. Participants navigate a course through Dudley Park and along the Firefly Trail. This event is organized by the University of Georgia Pre-Veterinary Club.

Dogs are permitted to participate in the event alongside their owners. Owners must ensure that all dogs are vaccinated, well-behaved, and kept on a leash at all times. Participants are responsible for the proper pickup and disposal of any animal waste during the race. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
