Scattered everywhere
Events live in private Facebook groups, club newsletters, organizer PDFs, forum threads, and race boards that each cover one slice. Finding them meant hours of digging across a dozen places.

Why this exists
Every dog-powered event, in one place.
I run with my dog, and the races and trails we could enter were never collected anywhere. So I built the directory I kept looking for.
I wanted races and trails I could do with my dog— canicross starts, canine OCR heats, trail races with a real dog division, treks built for active dogs. Every search turned up a few scattered results and a stale event page, never one place that listed them all.
The information existed. It was just spread thin — club newsletters, Facebook groups, organizer PDFs, forum threads, each covering one event or one region. Piecing together a season meant checking a dozen sources and still missing events.
So I built it. Every listing here points back to an official source that proves a dog can take part — a registration page, the rules, an organizer post — instead of a vague “dog-friendly” label.
The problem we're fixing
Too small to chart
Canicross, dryland mushing, canine OCR, and dog trail running are small sports. Big race calendars barely acknowledge them, so racers track every event by hand.
“Dog-friendly” is fuzzy
Half the listings that say “dog-friendly” mean dogs at the expo or the parking lot — not on course. Finding out whether your dog can run took emails, fine print, and guesswork.
