Information
Embark on an exhilarating adventure at Conestee Park as you and your furry friend race the trails together at our 10th Annual Tails & Trails 5K Walk/Run. Whether you're sprinting side by side with your canine companion, strolling in support of a noble cause, or participating in the race with family and friends without a pet, this event promises loads of fun for everyone.
Tails & Trails isn't just about the thrill of the run; it's an opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the lives of our community animals. All proceeds play a pivotal role in empowering Animal Care to extend assistance to homeless animals, while also bolstering programs aimed at reducing the number of animals entering the shelter. These initiatives include affordable and targeted spay/neuter programs, as well as a wide range of programs designed to provide resources that enable animals to stay within the loving confines of their homes.
