About this race
The Dog Days of Summer offers serious trail running with brutal trails and feral vibes. Climb gnarly hills and melt into the Tennessee humidity. Every sweaty, soul-grinding step helps save animals in rural Tennessee, with all proceeds benefiting Flying Pigs Animal Sanctuary. This is for runners who'd rather high-five a dog than post a PR, and who can laugh while hallucinating in the heat. Find a community of dirtbag runners who know how to suffer well and love even harder, with Barkley-style trail names for your meltdowns. Let's run wild and suffer for the strays!
