Tails to Trails Remote Four-Paw 5k

We had so much fun opening the Tails to Trails event up to a wider audience last year with the virtual format, that we have decided to do it again! Join us, remotely, anytime between May 14 – May 23 to complete your four-pawed 5K.

We are excited to announce that all Tails to Trails participants are welcome to complete their 5k fun run/walk, in-person, at the Vasa Pathway on May 22 or May 23 between 10 am – 12 pm. TART Trails staff and event sponsors will be on-site with treats for your four-pawed friends!  As a reminder, this is not a timed event and there will be no mass start or any event support or signage on the Vasa Pathway 5k. Already completed your 5k? Even better! Stop by for a little extra fun in the woods and some well earned doggie treats from our sponsors.

This event is a COVID-conscious gathering – please wear a mask if you plan to stop by.

Don’t have a dog? No problem, use this race as a good excuse to get outside and get some fresh air, everyone is invited to this party!
