The Bar K 5K is the premiere dog-friendly 5K in the country, designed for competitive runners, weekend warriors, novices, walkers, and everyone in between. If you love running with your dog, the Bar K 5K is the one must-do event on your race calendar!!

The course is a beautiful loop along the Riverfront Heritage Trail through Berkley Riverfront Park, under the Bond Bridge, Heart of America Bridge, and the historic AS&B railroad bridge, with only one street crossing along the entire course.  You are encouraged to run with your dog -- or, if your pup's not a runner, leave him or her in our fully staffed dog park while you race! And if you don't have a dog, come race with us anyway!
