From big races to Saturday morning group runs—find virtual events and connect with the local endurance sports community.
February 22, 2026 will be the 12th celebration of RunGo's annual Dash for Dogs, the fundraiser for BC and Alberta Guide Dogs. We've raised over $190,000 through these years, and it's an amazing local event in Stanley Park, Vancouver. Join us for a 2k, 5k, or 10k run or walk, and enjoy pancakes, prizes, puppies, good tunes, blindfolded walks with guide dogs, and more!
This is a race for people – you don't need a dog to run. The RunGo Dash for Dogs course follows some of the most scenic trails and paths of Stanley Park.
Guide dogs and good dogs are welcome, dogs must be on leash and under control at all times for the safety of the working guide dogs.

Dynasty - The Dog Who Inspired RunGo & Dash for Dogs
In October 2025, RunGo and Dash for Dogs founder Craig Slagel said good-bye to his beautiful dog, Dynasty. 🐕🦺😢
Dynasty started her life as a guide dog until her early retirement. In 2012, Craig was lucky enough to adopt her, and she quickly showed she was as smart as she was loving, often trying to train him instead. Learning about her guide dog background inspired the creation of RunGo, a running app that offers voice-guided navigation so you can explore the world screen-free and with confidence.
In 2015, RunGo held its first fun run in Stanley Park, a small “launch event” that doubled as a fundraiser to thank Dynasty for her inspiration. That one-day celebration became the RunGo Dash for Dogs, now entering its 12th year and having raised nearly $200,000 for BC & Alberta Guide Dogs. From startup meetings to race days and TV interviews, Dynasty was always there, the heart of the community, quietly reminding us what trust, love, and connection look like. She’s been featured on CTV, CityTV, and Global BC, bringing awareness to the work that guide dogs do and helping build a more inclusive world for everyone.
Dynasty touched thousands of lives, through her gentle heart and spirit, her story, through RunGo, and through every wag that started a conversation about how much dogs can change lives.
You can honor her legacy by signing up for the 2026 Dash for Dogs or making a donation. Thank you, Dynasty, for guiding us every step of the way.

Join us on February 21, 2027 for the return of RunGo Dash for Dogs — a fun, community-focused 2K/5K/10K winter trail event celebrating the joy of walking or running, dogs, supporting a great cause, and the outdoors.
RunGo Dash for Dogs proudly supports BC & Alberta Guide Dogs, helping raise funds for their life-changing programs that provide professionally trained guide and service dogs at no cost to recipients. Thanks to the incredible generosity of participants, sponsors, volunteers, and donors, Dash for Dogs has raised over $220,000 in the past 13 years. The 2026 event alone raised over $30,000 in support of their mission — and we’re excited to build on that momentum in 2027.
Participants can expect:
Scenic winter trail routes in Stanley Park
A welcoming and inclusive atmosphere
Post-run pancakes
Post-race festivities: Lots of prizes, giveaways, good tunes, community partners, blindfolded walks with guide dogs, guide dog puppies, and more
Opportunities to support an important community cause – raise money for a chance to win one of our amazing door prizes
Dogs are welcome to join their humans on course (well-behaved and leashed), making this a unique event for runners and four-legged companions alike. This is a low-key self-timed event. The course will be fully flagged and course marshals will be on course to direct runners. A RunGo audio guide of the course is also available.
This event continues to be inspired in part by the spirit of Guide Dog Dynasty, whose gentle nature helped shape the heart of Dash for Dogs from the beginning.
Whether you run, walk, volunteer, or cheer from the sidelines, we can’t wait to welcome you to the 2027 edition of Dash for Dogs.
Register early — spots are limited! See more event details below.
