Event Description
The fifth annual Get Your Tails on the Trail event, was derailed for a year, but we are back! This event offers runners and walkers an opportunity to do a one mile "fun run" or complete the 5K! The course is an "out and back" on a flat, fast, greenway with plenty of shade provided by the tress flanking the path. A course with shade and an 8:00 am start time were chosen with the health of your furry friends in mind. Get out early before the heat of the day!
This event will be an opportunity for you to have a good time, get some exercise, and help Freedom Farm Animal Sanctuary, raise money to save the lives of cats and dogs in middle Tennessee. Freedom Farm Animal Sanctuary is in its 22nd Year of existence as a Non-Profit, No Kill, foster based animal rescue, in Hendersonville, TN.
