Bark in the Dark participants and virtual participants have the opportunity to raise additional donations to support HSWM. All proceeds from this event benefit animals in need at Humane Society of West Michigan as a 100% donor funded 501(c)3 non-profit that promotes the humane treatment and responsible care of animals in West Michigan through education, example, placement, and protection.

Join us for the seventh annual Bark in the Dark! This family and dog friendly glow-in-the-dark 5k and 1 mile fun run/walk is bound to be a blast!

Don't want to run? Don't worry! Bark in the Dark is so much more than a race! Featuring a dog costume contest, a beer tent, food from local restaurants, music, and sponsor booths - fell free to skip the run and just come for the fun!
