Get ready to set tails wagging with the Wagging Tails on the Trails 1.5 mile & 5K Ish Run / Walk at the scenic Case Creek Tails on Trails Valley in October 5 , 2025! After the sun rises at 9:30 a.m., you’ll embark on a breathtaking route through pastures and woodlands around Case Creek Valley . Start your day with an invigorating run or walk, and revel in awesome perks including a custom T-shirt, a shiny finisher Dog Tag , custom race bib, and delicious treat at the end.
Your participation means more than just a great workout; it supports QC PAWS (Pets Are Worth Saving), directly aiding in the care they provide to their animals. Bring your furry friend along—this is a dog’s paradise with treats for all four-legged finishers and plenty of hydration stations. Your pooch has to be leashed, well-behaved, and ready for a good time. Lock in your preferred swag by registering before September 20 th , and if you crave a minimalist run / walk just skip the T-shirt during registration. Let’s run / walk for a cause and have a blast with every step!
“This is a fun run, meaning it will not be timed,” which means the focus is on enjoying the experience and participating, not on achieving a fast time; everyone can run or walk at their own pace without worrying about their finish time. Your time won’t be recorded, so you can walk, jog, or run as you please. The main goal is to have fun and participate, not to compete for the fastest time. Suitable for people of all fitness levels, from beginners to experienced runners.
