Huntington Tails & Trails to be held October 7

It’s tails. It’s trails. It’s the Huntington Tails & Trails Festival, where there is something for everyone, including man’s best friend. Huntington Tails & Trails will feature a 5K and 1 Mile Dog Walk. The event will be held at Evergreen Park on Saturday, October 7.

Sign up for the 5K or the 1 Mile Dog Walk that will follow a beautiful trail with views of the Wabash River and Wildflower Prairies.

Dogs may do the 5K, but need to be at the end of the group and give at least five-minute lead to the runners and walkers.

If running isn’t your thing, then be sure to join us for several festival activities before and after the race. There will be live music with Garry Jones, food trucks, market shops, Scavenger Hunt, Trick-or-Treating with vendors, costume contest for humans and their four-legged companions, dog lure course and dog group demonstrations.

Those who sign up for the race before September 23 are guaranteed a race shirt. There is something for everyone so dust off those running shoes and lawn chairs and come out and join us.

The event is hosted by Huntington Area Recreational Trails Association (HARTA) and the Huntington County Humane Society. Proceeds from event registrations and sponsors will go toward supporting the upcoming Erie Trail expansion, trail amenities, trail signage, lifesaving medical care, spays and neuters for the shelter animals.
