PlayDogs Run 2026
French-speaking Switzerland’s largest dog festival returns for its 4th edition.
On the programme: a 5 or 7 km obstacle course to complete with your dog, with no timing and no ranking — you can run, walk or simply take your time. More than 30 obstacles, 500 places, CHF 39.- per human-and-dog pair.
Around the course, the village is entirely free and open to everyone, with or without a dog: some thirty stalls, food outlets, and a full day of demonstrations from 11 am to 5 pm — REDOG search-and-rescue dogs, bedbug detection, agility, nosework and dog dancing. Most activities invite the public to take part.
CHF 1.- from every registration is donated to a charity working with dogs.
