Tails on the Trail
About this race
The SPCA Cincinnati Tails on the Trail is on Saturday, October 10th at Francis RecreAcres Park next to our Sharonville Shelter! Bring the whole family for a fall tradition that is much more than a dog walk! T-shirts are included with your registration and children 12 and under are FREE with a paying adult (1 child per paying adult, does not include an additional t-shirt). Click on the tabs above the banner on this page for more details.
We will have decorations, pumpkins, food, vendors, live music, and contests. We're always adding new fun activities to this yearly tradition! And, of course, our "pup-ular" Costume Contest is back again this year - we love seeing your creativity, so go wild! See you on the trail!
Proceeds benefit the SPCA Cincinnati, your hometown Humane Society since 1873! We are the problem solvers for everything animal-related from pet adoptions to vaccination clinics. We provide care for any animals that come to the shelter: food, medical needs, exercise, enrichment, and affection to get them ready to go to their new homes. We do all we can to support people so that pet surrender is a last resort, such as providing pet food donations for those under financial strain and behavioral training. We are pet placement experts both locally and across our nation. We value innovative educational techniques to keep pets at home, enrich shelter life, promote the humane treatment of all animals, and prevent pet overpopulation.
The Tails on the Trail brings an exciting 5K to Cincinnati, Ohio on October 10, 2026. Don't miss this beautiful event!
