Event overview
The Black Swamp Dash is scheduled for June 20, 2026 in Oak Harbor, Ohio. The event is a 5k mud run with more than 20 obstacles. Many obstacles have two options, a "challenge" side and an "Xtreme" side. The event offers competitive and non-competitive entry options; competitive slots are available for runners seeking awards based on time, while non-competitive entries still receive an overall time. Every participant receives a "Return of the Black Swamp Mud Run" medal. Additional awards will be given to the top male and top female performers in each designated age group.

The venue address is 7870 W State Rte 163, Oak Harbor, OH 43449. The listed entry price for the Black Swamp Dash is $40, with a price increase after January 5, 2026.

Registrants within the first four waves may have the option to run the course a second time for $5 and will receive a different wristband if they choose that option.
