Hot Diggity Dog 5K

Hot Diggity Dog 5K takes place in Saint Albans, West Virginia, on Saturday, November 28, 2026. The event offers a single 5K run/walk starting at 9:00 a.m. Scheduled on Thanksgiving weekend, it is a light-hearted community race where runners and walkers share the same course and the same start.

Because it is a run/walk, you can approach the 3.1 miles however you like: walk it with family, jog it as your first organized race, or push the pace for a fast time before the winter sets in. First-timers will be well served by three to four weeks of easy running with one slightly longer outing each week. Regular runners can treat it as a tempo session or a fun shakeout over the holiday weekend. A warm-up jog before the start will help you settle into a comfortable rhythm from the first steps.
