RunGo Dash for Dogs 2027

Event Overview

Join us on February 21, 2027 for the return of RunGo Dash for Dogs — a fun, community-focused 2K/5K/10K winter trail event celebrating the joy of walking or running, dogs, supporting a great cause, and the outdoors.

Supporting a Great Cause

RunGo Dash for Dogs proudly supports BC & Alberta Guide Dogs, helping raise funds for their life-changing programs that provide professionally trained guide and service dogs at no cost to recipients. Thanks to the incredible generosity of participants, sponsors, volunteers, and donors, Dash for Dogs has raised over $220,000 in the past 13 years. The 2026 event alone raised over $30,000 in support of their mission — and we’re excited to build on that momentum in 2027.

What to Expect

• Scenic Routes: Scenic winter trail routes in Stanley Park
• Inclusive Atmosphere: A welcoming and inclusive atmosphere
• Post-Run Treats: Post-run pancakes
• Festivities: Post-race festivities: Lots of prizes, giveaways, good tunes, community partners, blindfolded walks with guide dogs, guide dog puppies, and more
• Community Support: Opportunities to support an important community cause – raise money for a chance to win one of our amazing door prizes

Event Details

Dogs are welcome to join their humans on course (well-behaved and leashed), making this a unique event for runners and four-legged companions alike. This is a low-key self-timed event. The course will be fully flagged and course marshals will be on course to direct runners. A RunGo audio guide of the course is also available.

This event continues to be inspired in part by the spirit of Guide Dog Dynasty, whose gentle nature helped shape the heart of Dash for Dogs from the beginning.

Whether you run, walk, volunteer, or cheer from the sidelines, we can’t wait to welcome you to the 2027 edition of Dash for Dogs.
