The Baystate Dirty Dog Trail Run-Ruck-Walk 5k
The Baystate Dirty Dog Trail Run-Ruck-Walk 5k is a trail event held on October 25, 2026, in Berkley, MA, across from 41 Point St. The event offers running, rucking with weighted packs, and walking options on a rugged outdoor course. Course conditions may be muddy or slippery, so participants are advised to use appropriate footwear and take extra care on the trail. No strollers are allowed.
There are separate entry categories and fees:
- 3.1 Miles running, ruck, or walk (adult)
- 3.1 Miles kids registration for under 18
- 3 Miles dog registration
Registration opens January 25, 2026. Registration deadlines differ by category. Published fees include $25 for the main 3.1 mile entry, $15 for the kids registration, and $5 for dog registration. Dogs must be leashed, have no history of biting, and require an additional waiver.
The event includes food, awards, presentations, and raffles after the course. It serves as a tribute to K-9s and to military and first responder personnel. Fundraising tiers provide event-branded gear at set levels, and proceeds support the Baystate Beagle Club, Give2Those.org, and selected K9 handlers who receive special recognition and assistance.
