UNDERDOG MARATHON
15.8.2026.
10th Monty's Underdog Marathon
Course
The legendary dog & human race is back for its jubilee 10th edition!
On 15th August 2026, get ready for the most fun and chaotic seaside adventure for dogs and their humans at Monty’s Dog Beach & Bar.
Underdog Marathon is not your typical race — it’s a celebration of the special bond between dogs and their owners, combining running, swimming, teamwork, and a whole lot of wagging tails.
Whether you’re a professional athlete or someone who just wants to have fun with your best friend, everyone is welcome to join. The only requirement? A happy, socialized dog and a willingness to get a little wet!
After the race, the fun continues with our Pup Cup Speed Eating Contest — a delicious challenge where dogs only compete to see who can finish their treat the fastest!
Marathon Rules

1. The owner and dog must complete the entire course together as indicated in the diagram.
2. The dog may use aids (floatie, SUP, ball, leash…)
3. You can run or swim with or without a leash.
4.Time is recorded at the finish line only when both the dog and owner have passed through it.
5. The Underdog (first from the back) prize is awarded to the last person to cross the finish line, i.e. when the organizer determines that only 2 competitors remain to cross the finish line, a 3-minute countdown begins and the competitor who crosses the finish line last within that time wins the prize.
