Hungry Dog Dash 2026

About the Event

Whether you are a serious distance runner or a casual weekend warrior, come join us for the 13th annual Hungry Dog Dash 5K run/walk on Sunday, February 8, 2026 at 8:00 a.m. The course will be fast, flat and beautiful as you run along one of San Diego’s most spectacular waterways in Liberty Station, Point Loma.

We look forward to once again hosting runners and walkers of all skill levels and ages at our USAT&F certified course and sanctioned event.

This race is very DOG FRIENDLY! Feel free to bring your leashed, four-legged running buddy to enjoy the run with you.

All proceeds from The Hungry Dog Dash fundraiser go to the Point Loma High School Cross Country Team. The event also helps raise awareness with younger students in the community about the PLHS running program. We hope you will join us for this community and family event promoting fitness and healthy lifestyles! Finish line activities will include live music, food, drinks, a local business vendor village and fun for everyone.

Please note: The deadline for us to order t-shirts is JANUARY 25, 2026. After that date we cannot guarantee shirts &/or sizes.
