Faster For Foster Trail Run
The Faster For Foster Trail Run is scheduled for April 17, 2027, at Preservation Park in Thompson's Station, Tennessee. The event offers trail running options and benefits New To You, Inc., a local 501(c)(3) nonprofit; 100% of proceeds will go to support foster children in middle Tennessee. Foster children and foster families may participate without an entry fee.
Distances:
- 10K
- 5K
Both races follow marked trails at Preservation Park. The 10K follows the 5K course twice. The route is flagged with orange or pink ground flags and includes a short out-and-back section around mile 1.25–1.75. The first two miles are on grass, cross-country type surface, or gravel jeep road with wide trails; the final mile is narrow, technical singletrack with rocks and roots. Runners should stay on the marked trail and observe leave-no-trace practices. The course includes a water stop near the out-and-back turnaround.
Event logistics note that packet pick-up is available at Fleet Feet Cool Springs and at Preservation Park on race day. Park at the main gravel lot; the pavilion inside the fence serves as the packet pick-up and start/finish area. Bathrooms are about 0.15 mile from the parking lot. The race is dog friendly; dogs must be kept on leash and managed in narrow sections.
Awards are given for overall and age-group places in each race, including a K9 category. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
