2023 MIDWEST CANINE OBSTACLE RUN

What is the Midwest Canine Obstacle Run?

Located at The Woods Fitness Park in Benton Harbor, MI, the Midwest Canine Obstacle Run is a 5k run with over 40 obstacles, that you will do along 

side your furry companion.  Wooded trails, challenging obstacles, mixed with some dirt and water and you will be having the time of your lives.  

The Midwest Canine Obstacle Run is truly a bonding experience like no other, that you and your pet will remember for a lifetime.  

Your friend will need help and guidance, and they will help you more than you think, but both of you will have a blast!
