It's tails. It's trails. It's the Huntington Tails & Trails Festival, where there is something for everyone, including man's best friend. The Huntington Tails & Trails Festival will feature a 5K and 1 Mile (both dog-friendly) on the beautiful Erie Trail, not to mention a market, Summit City Disc Dogs, a dog lure chase, Just Princess Things, and more. The event will be held at Crestview Middle School on Saturday, October 5. So, dust off the walking shoes and grab man’s best friend, and join us for some dog-gone family fun.

Save $15 on registration until July 7, student pricing is also available. Register BEFORE September 15 to be guaranteed a race t-shirt.

The 5K or 1 Mile Run/Walk are both dog-friendly.

Don't forget that amazing costume contest for you and your dog. Contest judging will take place before the run. Awards will be after the run.

If running isn’t your thing, then be sure to join us for several festival activities before and after the race. There will be Food Trucks, Market Shops, a Spooky Scavenger Hunt, Trick or treating with vendors, a dog lure course, disc dog play, and more.

Those who sign up for the race before September 15 are guaranteed a race shirt. There is something for everyone so dust off those running shoes and lawn chairs and come out and join us.

The event is hosted by HARTA (Huntington Area Recreational Trails Association) & the Huntington County Humane Society. Proceeds from event registrations and sponsors will support more trail amenities, trail signage, lifesaving medical care, spays, and neuters for shelter animals.
