17th Annual Dog Bowl Run — 11/28/2025

 The 17th Annual Dog Bowl Run is complete. For an unprecedented 6th time we’re congratulating Mike McNeilly as the Dog Bowl Run champion. Mike was just :05 seconds slower of his estimated time of 23:35. In second place was Mike’s son, Leo, at just :06 seconds faster than his estimated time of 23:28. In third place was former DBR champion Steven “Dog Sr.” Lopes. He was just :07 seconds slower than his estimated time of 28:00. The fastest finisher was Charles P. Markert with a time of 19:19.

We had yet another great turnout, with twenty-nine participants toeing the starting line. We also welcomed back former DBR champion Liam Callahan for the first time since his victory 2017. A few starters did not post a qualifying time (DNP), and there were only 23 finishers that registered a time. I think the weather was a factor, and they can’t be blamed for turning around early. With the steady winds, the high 30s° temperature felt much colder. We had a few first-timers who I hope enjoyed the competition and camaraderie. We look forward to seeing you at future DBRs.
