Get ready for Rutland County Humane Society’s Trails for Tails

Join us in person or virtually to walk, run or bike on the beautiful trails of Pine Hill Park in Rutland to help the animals at RCHS! On Aug. 14, 2021, we will be hosting our Trails for Tails 1-mile Fun Run, 5K run, and 5.2-mile bike ride. Unable to join in person? No problem! We will have a virtual option that allows you to enjoy your walk, run, or bike ride from your neighborhood, backyard, favorite park, or even your own treadmill! On-leash and well-behaved dogs are welcome for the 1-mile or 5K run/walk, but due to safety, no dogs are permitted during the bike ride. You can also create a team and raise money! Any team that can raise $250+ will receive a fun and adorable tumbler. Any team that raises $500+ will get to name the next litter of RCHS kittens! Visit rchsvt.org/events for more information, or to sign up. We hope to see you and your teams there!
