HAS BEEN CANCELLED.
We’re sorry to announce that the HOWL-O-WEEN Dog Run has been canceled for 2025. Unfortunately, we did not receive enough registrations to host the race this year.
We deeply appreciate your support of our friends at Morris Safe House and hope you’ll join us at a future race. Thank you for understanding, and we look forward to seeing you—and your pups—next time!
About the Howl-O-Ween Dog Run & Barktoberfest!
Bring your 4-legged friends, monsters and goblins and join us for this family-friendly event. With 2 distance options (2K9 – 1.2 miles with your furry friends or 4 miles without a leash), there is an event for everyone. The “family-friendly” course of 2K9 (1.2 miles) will take you along the beautiful Canyon Lake 6. The more challenging 4-mile course will have you running through the City of Lubbock Cemetery and paying tribute to Lubbock’s most famous son, Buddy Holly. The course will conclude with a loop around Canyon Lake 6.
Dog supplies will be collected and donated to
Morris Safe House.
