Tails & Trails- Charitable Walk/Run

Tails & Trails - Charitable Walk/Run

Tails & Trails is a community fundraising event organized by Wandering Soles Adventures to support the Dogwood Animal Rescue Project. The event is based at Howarth Memorial Park in Santa Rosa, CA, and uses the park trail system for in-person activity. The beneficiary is Dogwood Animal Rescue Project, a local nonprofit focused on animal welfare.

The park trails are described as exceptionally flat with a mix of paved bike paths and gravel trails. Routes pass lakes and wooded stretches, and the setting emphasizes a nature-focused atmosphere. Limited parking is noted at the venue.

A virtual participation option allows people to complete any distance on their own course during a designated virtual race window. Virtual registrants are treated as full participants and will receive a mailed race packet that includes a limited-edition 2026 Tails & Trails dog bandana. The organizer requests virtual registration by May 15, 2026 to help ensure timely delivery of race packets. General registration closes June 10, 2026 at 11:59 PM PT.

At the in-person finish area, the event includes a community gathering at Dogwood Village with local vendors, snacks, and information about animal rescue efforts.
