Tails on Trails

Tails on Trails 2026 is a community fundraising race in Bechtel Park, Waterloo, Ontario, in support of the Humane Society of Kitchener-Waterloo and Stratford Perth. Returning for a second year, the event offers dog-friendly and human-only options: a timed 5K Trail Race with a canine + handler, a timed 5K for humans without dogs, a 2.5K Run/Walk (untimed) with or without a dog, and a 200m Pup Run (untimed) for dogs or handlers unable to tackle longer distances. The 2.5K loop showcases Bechtel Park.

Participants fundraise to unlock prizes through tiered rewards, supported by local sponsors, with a fundraising goal of $10,000. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
