We love to support our local community, and this event is really known for putting the FUN in fundraiser, and the PAW in positively pup-tastic.
This morning we hosted a sold out crowd of 400 participants, dogs and runners alike, happily hitting the trails at sunny Bechtel Park in Waterloo. The dogs were excellent sports and ran for fun. Here’s the timed results, human edition:
Impressively, the Humane Society of Kitchener Waterloo & Stratford Perth raised over $27,000 through this event. Funds raised by this run goes directly to supporting day to day operations at the society, including adoptions, education and outreach programs, and pet pantry programs which help keep animals in their homes with their loving families.
Humane society reps also told us this race is quickly becoming one of their biggest annual fundraisers. Surging in popularity and growth from last year, Tails on Trails maxed out the capacity of the venue this year, and we are eyeing Kiwanis Park for next year to accommodate more runners and more dogs. Stay tuned for 2027 Tails on Trails registration!
Thanks to our amazing participants, volunteers and sponsors for making this event a hit. We’re back with another fundraiser on June 6- join us for Lakeside Laps at Columbia Lake. And don’t miss our biggest Classic yet, coming up the weekend of June 20 & 21. Find all registration details on our website.
See you at the start line!
