Carrollton "Tails & Trails" 5K & 1-Mile Fun Run/Walk
The event is held at Josey Ranch Athletic Complex, 1440 Keller Springs Road, Carrollton, TX, and benefits Carrollton Animal Services & Adoption Center. It offers two course options:
- 5K
- 1-Mile Fun Run/Walk
The 5K is a timed race with awards for overall male and female winners and top three finishers in each age group: 10 & Under; 11–14; 15–19; 20–29; 30–39; 40–49; 50–59; 60–69; 70 & Over. The Fun Run/Walk is untimed and does not receive awards. The course starts and finishes near the Josey Ranch Sports Complex, proceeds southwest to a turnaround near mile marker 1, runs north toward the lake with mile marker 2 near the start/finish, includes a short off-trail section with a slight hill up toward the lake, continues around the lake, and returns through the off-trail section to the finish.

Rosemeade Parkway, on June 4 and June 5 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Runners who register for the 5K by June 1 are guaranteed a race T-shirt, race bag, and timing chip.
