The goal of this event is to raise money for the Fredmeyer Foundation, this foundation allows unwanted/relinquished pets to receive necessary veterinarian care as well as providing critical care and surgical procedures to pets whose owners have severe financial constraints. The run/walk will start and end at the pavilion where the pond is.Tails n’ Trails participants can choose to run the 5K distance for $25 or do the 1 mile walk for $15. Run/walk participants will receive race number to pin on themselves and their dogs will get a corresponding number on a bandana that they can wear during the run. Goodie bags will also be given to every participant containing pet related items (toys, treats, coupons, informational brochures). The 5K run will be timed with a sports time clock (no chip timing will be used) and awards given to the first 3 small category dogs and first 3 medium/large category dogs. Light refreshments, treats for the dogs, water and non-alcoholic beverages will be served after the run/walk, the raffle will also be held after the run/walk and possibly some organized dog games.
