Marathon Dog Friendly Races

The Nitty Gritty is a trail marathon & half marathon that allows dogs both on and off leash. It is on a 4.3-mile looped single track course on Red Lodge Mountain.

Well-behaved, leashed dogs are allowed to run in all three races, the 100-miler, the 100K and the 20-miler. They must not bother any people, dogs or wildlife. The course is single track on 20-mile loops. Anyone who lets their dog off leash will be disqualified.

The Oakland Hills Trail Run offers a dog friendly 10K, half marathon and 35K event. Dogs are asked to start at the back of the pack.

Well-behaved, leashed dogs are welcome on both the Deception Pass 50K and 25K courses. There is also a 1K Fun Run. This area is known for its rugged coastlines, cliffs and dense forests. There are no mountains or long climbs in this race.
