Faster For Foster Trail Run
Faster For Foster is a charity trail race held on April 17, 2027 in Thompson's Station, TN. The event benefits New To You, Inc., a local nonprofit that provides clothing, diapers, personal items, furniture and trade school tuition for foster children in middle Tennessee. All proceeds from the race go directly to supporting foster children; foster children and foster families may register free under an honor system.
Distances
- 10K : two laps of the 5K course
- 5K : single loop on marked trails
Both races use trails at Preservation Park. The course begins on grass and gravel jeep roads for the first two miles, includes a short out-and-back section with a water stop near mile 1.5, then climbs to a narrower, more technical singletrack with rocks and roots. Runners should expect a mix of wide and narrow trail sections, a notable hill before the finish, and an all-downhill final approach to the pavilion and red barns. The 10K repeats the 5K loop.
Logistics note: packet pickup is available at Fleet Feet Cool Springs on the Friday before the race and at Preservation Park on race morning. Parking is in the gravel lot at the main entrance; bathrooms are about 0.15 mile from parking. There is no race day registration; online registration closes prior to the event.
Awards include monetary prizes for the top three overall male and female finishers, first place K9 in each race, and first place awards in age-group categories from 12 and under through 80-89. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
