Tails on Trails 2026 takes place at Bechtel Park, Bridge Street West, Waterloo, ON, Canada. The event supports the Humane Society of Kitchener Waterloo and Stratford Perth and is presented by Pet Valu. This is the second edition of the community fundraising run.

Participants can choose between timed and untimed options, and may run with or without a dog depending on the entry category.

The course uses a 2.5 km loop inside Bechtel Park; the 5 km distance equals two loops. The 5 km event is chip timed.

Fundraising is integrated into participation and includes tiered rewards. Raising CA$60 or more earns an event t-shirt; raising CA$120 or more earns a t-shirt plus a swag bag.
