Dog Days of Summer Trail Race
The Dog Days of Summer Trail Race is a multi-event trail running weekend held in mid-August 2026 in Grandview, Tennessee at 2392 Possum Trot Rd. Events use looped trails and include timed race options that span one hour up to 24 hours, plus a combined-entry option.
The course is organized around a single aid station at the start and finish of each loop. Organizer notes indicate loop options of roughly 1 mile and 3 miles, and the terrain includes sustained climbs and shaded sections. The setting is rural and hot and can include farm animals near the course.
Camping and on-site accommodations are part of the weekend. Tent camping is free and encouraged; if rain affects the site, buses may be used instead of car camping. Glamping sites at a nearby farm are offered through a silent auction, with proceeds directed to Flying Pigs Sanctuary.
All race proceeds support Flying Pigs Sanctuary and its work to care for animals in rural Tennessee. The event emphasizes simple, loop-based trail running, community aid on course, and fundraising for local animal care. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
