Tails, Trails, and Ales 2026

Tails, Trails, and Ales is a dog-friendly trail race day at Reflection Riding in Chattanooga, Tennessee, scheduled for the fall. Participants can choose from a 1-mile Pup Dash, a 5K, or a 10K, with timed and untimed options for those seeking a race effort or a relaxed trail outing with their dog. The event is designed for one dog per person, and all dogs must remain on a 6-foot leash. The race features dog-friendly aid stations, on-site veterinary and first-aid support, finisher awards for humans, pup bandanas, local craft beer, food from breweries and food trucks, pet-friendly vendors, and an option to support a local animal rescue or shelter. Nooga Paws, Bad Beard Events, and Reflection Riding are the hosts, with an anticipated field of approximately 200 human participants and their dogs.
