Tails on Trails 5K Run/Walk : Berkeley Springs
The event is the second annual 5K at Cacapon State Park in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia, held on September 12, 2026. It benefits the Humane Society of Morgan County and offers in-person and virtual participation options with separate registration fees. Advanced registration is encouraged; on-site registration is more expensive and T-shirts may not be available.
The course uses the High School's official cross-country route and runs through wooded terrain. The route begins with a gentle incline near the Lodge, winds through forested areas, showcases fall views, passes the upper lake, and loops back to the start. A post-race free pup swim in the lake is part of the event this year. An awards ceremony is planned.
Participation options and fees noted by the organizer include in-person run and walk entries at $40 each and a virtual participant option at $30. Day-of registration is listed at $50. Registration opens April 19, 2026 and closes September 11, 2026.
Volunteer positions are available in seated and standing roles, and groups and families are welcome to volunteer. There is also an option to honor a pet for a fee of $197. The event description emphasizes provision for runners, walkers, and people with dogs on leash. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
