The Cutest Race in the Midwest — Don’t Miss the 2025 Corgi Races!

This blog contains information which may be outdated. Please visit our list of Recent Blogs for our latest posts.

Sound the bark alarm and get ready for some serious tail-wagging action! The 2025 Omaha Corgi Races are sprinting back into the Metro on Saturday, May 10, and it’s shaping up to be the most adorable sporting event of the year. Hosted by the Omaha Corgi Crew, presented by the Omaha Sports Commission, and made possible with the generous support of MazzyCo Collars, this beloved annual event will once again transform Tom Hanafan River’s Edge Park into a high-energy corgi coliseum.

Fans of short legs and big personalities are invited to cheer on dozens of speedy (and some not-so-speedy) corgis as they race for glory and the prestigious title of Fastest Corgi in the Metro. As always, the races support a great cause — proceeds from the event benefit local dog rescues, with the Grand Champion selecting which rescue receives the funds raised.

The 2025 event promises even more heart-pounding excitement, featuring 10 thrilling corgi races in addition to 2 special heats for senior corgis and corgi mixes. Whether your favorite is a lightning-fast sprinter or a happy little waddler, the Omaha Corgi Races deliver non-stop fun and plenty of “aww”-worthy moments.

More Than Just a Race!

While the corgis steal the spotlight, there's so much more to enjoy:

  • 🐾 Vendor Village: Shop a paw-some selection of pet products, handmade goods, and dog-themed gifts.

  • 🍔 Food Trucks & Refreshments: Come hungry! Treat yourself to delicious local eats and sweet treats.

  • 🌸 Mother’s Day Weekend Fun: Celebrate Mom with quality time, dog-themed accessories, unique home decor, and other great gift options — perfect for a springtime outing the whole family will enjoy.

Admission is always FREE, so bring your lawn chairs, camera, and corgi-loving crew for a one-of-a-kind day that will have you grinning from ear to ear.

Please note: For safety and liability reasons, only registered racing dogs are allowed on site (ADA-certified service dogs are welcome).
