Only Human Division
Join us on Saturday November 14 for The Doggie Run 4K/5k!
We are bringing this fun and family-friendly race to the U.S. for the first time, organized by Run For Paws & Aztlán Athletics. This event celebrates the special bond between humans and their dogs while promoting compassion, adoption, and healthy living. Don’t miss the chance to be part of this unique experience!
Two Finishers. One Epic Medal. 🏅
Meet the official 2026 Doggie Run Finisher Medal!
Designed to celebrate both ends of the leash, this year’s medal features a special removable paw charm that can stay on the medal, be used as a keychain, or be added to your dog’s collar.
Cross the finish line together and take home a keepsake made for you and your four-legged running partner.
Whether you run with your dog or take on the race solo, every finisher earns the official 2026 Doggie Run Medal.
Run together. Finish together. We Run For Them. 🐾
The Official 2026 Doggie Run Shirt
Meet the official 2026 Doggie Run race shirt, designed exclusively for this year’s event.
The front features a clean Doggie Run logo, while the back celebrates the spirit of running with your best friend through an exclusive Griffith Park-inspired design featuring the iconic Observatory, a runner, and their dog.
Finished in our signature navy, white, and lime colors, this shirt was created to feel sporty, modern, and unmistakably Doggie Run.
Wear it on race day, wear it after the finish line, and keep it as a reminder of the miles you shared together.
Run together. Finish together. We Run For Them. 🐾
The Official 2026 Doggie Run Bandana
Your dog is part of the race too, so of course they need their own official race-day gear.
The 2026 Doggie Run Bandana features our signature lime green and navy color palette with the official Doggie Run logo front and center.
Designed to coordinate with this year’s race shirt and medal, the bandana gives your four-legged running partner their own piece of the official Doggie Run look.
Tie it on, hit the course together, and let your pup celebrate every mile in style.
Two runners. One team. We Run For Them. 🐾
