Now in its 23rd year, Bark in the Park is ACS’ longest-running annual event, and it just keeps getting bigger, better, and more fun!

Kick off your day with a professionally timed 5K or take it at your own pace with our 1-mile Woof Walk. Whether you run, jog, or stroll, you’ll enjoy the beautiful, scenic trails of The Parklands of Floyds Fork at Beckley Creek Park, and of course, your furry friends are welcome to join in on the adventure!

Once the race begins, the celebration doesn’t stop! Stick around for a fun-filled, family-friendly festival packed with excitement:

• – Pet-friendly vendors
• – Live entertainment
• – An interactive lure course for dogs
• – Kids’ activities
• – Awards for top race finishers across multiple age groups
• – Our fan-favorite Pet of the Year Contest
• – Join in on the fun and dress to impress with our costume contest!
• – And so much more!

Trust us, you won’t want to miss the festival after the race!
