Bass Pro Shops Fitness Series Dogwood Canyon Trail Runs 2026

Dogwood Canyon Trail Runs take participants into Dogwood Canyon Nature Park, a more than 10,000-acre area near Lampe, Missouri, for a November trail running weekend, regardless of weather. The Bass Pro Shops Fitness Series event provides 15K, 25K, and 50K race options, along with Dogwood Challenge configurations that combine the 15K with either the 25K or the 50K for those seeking a more extensive weekend. The courses traverse hilly, rocky terrain between Missouri and Arkansas, featuring mud, stream crossings, and variable weather conditions that can range from the 20s to the 70s. The 15K route includes two aid stations, while the 25K and 50K routes have three to five. Certain course sections are exclusively accessible for these races. The Dogwood Challenge has a field limit of 250 runners. Participants completing a Dogwood Canyon distance and a Bass Pro Shops Marathon Weekend distance are automatically enrolled in the Back2Back Challenge without requiring additional registration.
