Special Event!! The Flower Moon on May 14th with gorgeous Dreamcatcher-inspired medals!! Located
The Flower Moon on May 14th with gorgeous Dreamcatcher-inspired medals!! Located within Osage Hills State Park (one of Oklahoma’s seven original State Parks), Flower Moon will offer distances of 4, 13.1, 26.2, and 50 (52ish) miles. Yes, the 50 mile is a bit long, but that buckle should make it worth that extra effort. Read the historical book, watch the Scorsese/DiCaprio movie (shooting on location at the park), run the trails, and collect the swag. We have so much planned for this trail run, including Fry Bread Tacos after the race! It is going to be extraordinary!!
This race will be a bit different from most trail runs as runners of the varying distances should finish at similar times. With staggered starting times, all the runs are scheduled for the average finisher to complete the run around 6PM. This will allow us to all eat Fry Bread Tacos together and visit/party after the race.
For those unfamiliar with Dog-N-Jog, our day consists of two races! We start early with the chip-timed 5k race. All race participants start at the same time, travel through and around Sedgwick County Park and receive medals upon completion of the race.
Our second race begins at 9:30 and is our 1.5 mile Walk-N-Wag! Participants may leisurely stroll through this abbreviated course or run to the finish line! Specific Walk-N-Wag finishers medals will be awarded to these participants as they cross the finish line.
Interested in participating in both? We have dedicated our Tail Chaser Combo to Katie Partridge- a Dog-N-Jog committee member and former Kansas Humane Society employee. Katie excitedly added the “Tail Chaser Combo” to our race day activities last year as a way to challenge and reward participants who ran in both the 5k and 1.5 mile events! Unfortunately, Katie passed away shortly after last years event. We opted to keep the new addition to the schedule for her. All participants who sign up for Katie’s Tail Chaser Combo will not only receive a 5k and 1.5 mile finisher medal, but also a 3rd Tail Chaser Combo medal!
One of the best aspects of our event is that it’s put on by a local small business (Indian Hills Animal Clinic) and 100% of all proceeds are donated to our local Kansas Humane Society!
Dexter - KS BBQ 5K and 2M Fun Run
Enjoy and scenic run/walk around Dexter, a small community of 254 citizens located in the southeast portion of Cowley County. The run is sponsored by four volunteer groups: Cowley County Emergency Auxiliary (CCEA), Community Emergency Response Team (CERT), County Animal Response Team (CART) and Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service (RACES).
Note: A virtual option is available for this race, to be run anytime between June 1 and June 13, 2021. Registration details are included below.
This small central southern Nebraska city — which proclaimed itself the “sandhill crane capital of the world” in 2010 thanks to the more than 500,000 sandhill crane birds that converge here in the early spring as a pitstop on their annual migration northward — plays host to the 13th annual running this year of its Buffalo County Stampede Half Marathon.
Sponsored by Kearney’s Buffalo County Historical Society, the race saw just over 170 runners cross the finish line at its 2014 running, which unfolds along the paved, eight-foot-wide pathways of the city’s Kearney Hike & Bike Trail, a 17-mile-long system of trails that wind through the city and the Platte River Valley area all around.
Runners start the loop course for the race in front of the offices of the historical society, at 710 West 11th Street, which also lies near the city’s Rails & Trails Museum.
From there, runners head west toward Yanney Heritage Park, an 80-acre park on the southwest section of the city that’s been transformed from a cornfield into a park complete with an amphitheater, gardens, children’s playground areas and a lake and wetlands preserve.
Once runners reach the park, they then turn onto the Hike & Bike Trail and head south toward the Platte River.
Runners continue on the trail as it winds along the riverbank, heading eastward with the winding river for just under two miles before turning around and heading into downtown Kearney all the way back to the finish line along West Street in front of the Rails & Trails Museum. This being Nebraska, the terrain is largely flat and paved for the entire route.

On race day (June 13), the average low is 57ºF and the average high is 80ºF
