Trail Running at Pepper Park Riverside
The Wagging Tails on the Trails event takes place at Pepper Park Riverside on Hutchinson Island in Fort Pierce, Florida. This fourth annual event features a loop trail course that passes through mangroves and coastal hammocks along the Indian River Lagoon. The terrain provides a natural setting for participants to complete their chosen distance.
Available event categories include:
- 9K Trail Run
- 5K Trail Run or Walk (approximately 3.1 miles)
- Kids Puppy Dash (for children aged 10 and under)
- Virtual Race
This is a dog-friendly event where participants can run or walk with their leashed companions. Organizers provide water bowls at various stations and at the expo area, along with treats for dogs that cross the finish line. All pets must be non-aggressive and remain on a leash at all times.
Registration options vary based on the amenities provided. Standard entry includes a chip-timed bib, a finisher medal, and an event t-shirt, with an optional upgrade to a long-sleeve shirt. There is also a specific registration tier for those who prefer to skip the medal and shirt while remaining eligible for category awards. The youth dash is free of charge and concludes with a cupcake for each young participant. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
