UltiMutt
A 5K obstacle course race for you and your pup!
The Ultimutt race is an annual 5K (3.1 miles) run/walk sprinkled with fun obstacles along the trail that both you and your dog must complete together!
Whether you walk or run, jump over or crawl, you are guaranteed to have the best time surrounded by the goodest doggos that ever obstacle raced! 💕
UltiMutt offers TWO waves: a Competitive Wave (for a chance to be crowned Men & Woman's Small & Large dog UltiMutt Champtions) and the Fun Wave (for everyone else).
We believe every dog & human deserves an active lifestyle with an unbreakable bond. That's why 10% of every registration fee along with 100% of all donations will go towards food and medical supplies for dogs and cats at Greenville County Animal Care.
Spectators & Families & Racers are welcome at the Noble Dog Finisher's Festival from 9AM-2PM, where you can grab some snacks, treats, and food, and enjoy the absolutely stunning views of Homestead at Hartness--rolling hills, sparkling ponds, rippling brooks, and of course some muddy spots, uphill climbs, and downhill slides!
